Medicine & Memory: Public Health in The Bahamas

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.

This exhibtiion takes on the very pertinent topic of public health in The Bahamas. 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 the upcoming iteration of the PE, we have included an online show to accompany the on-site exhibition.

This exhibition is curated by Natalie Willis, Associate Curator.
