Gut Waters - Mapping worlds inside your body
Drop in session with UNSW’s Centre for Social Research in Health
Saturday 6 September, 11am-1pm
Use collage and drawing to reflect on the worlds inside your body. What goes into and out of your gut? How does this feel? Add colours, shapes, patterns and textures to a map of your body and its digestive system. Use the Gut Waters exhibition to inspire you.
This informal drop in session is designed as a fun way to creatively experience the exhibition and to think differently about digestion. Participants can determine the duration and nature of their engagement. Researchers from UNSW’s Centre for Social Research in Health will be on hand to offer guidance and answer questions.
