Collection exhibition
Medicine & Memory: Public Health in The Bahamas begins to unpack practices around healing and medicine—of both the pharmaceutical and bush variety— in The Bahamas. The exhibition takes on the pertinent topic of public health in The Bahamas as we navigate the uncertainties and inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. From bush medicine to historic hospitals, to how to look after and protect the spirit, we will look at what health and wellness look like in our history to begin conversations around our future wellbeing.
For this upcoming iteration of the permanent exhibition, we have included an online show to accompany the in-person exhibition.
Medicine & Memory is curated by Natalie Willis, Associate Curator.
