Crucial Interventions with Richard Barnett
DISCUSSION
TICKETED
Thursday 26 November 2015
19:00-20:00
‘Crucial Interventions’, the sequel to the best-selling and award-winning ‘The Sick Rose’, uses rare, beautiful and gruesome illustrations to tell the story of the 19th-century revolution in surgery, the most intriguing and macabre of professions. Drawing on Wellcome Collection’’s unparalleled archives of surgical textbooks, images and instruments, it shows what this remarkable transformation meant for surgeons, patients, nurses, hospitals and the wider world.
Join us to hear the author of ‘Crucial Interventions’, historian and Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellow Richard Barnett, in conversation with a surgeon, and for a chance to see some of this unique and unnerving Wellcome Collection source material up close.
Crucial Interventions or, An Illustrated Treatise on the Principles & Practice of Nineteenth-Century Surgery by Richard Barnett and Wellcome Collection is published by Thames & Hudson, £19.95.
This event is FREE. Tickets will become available here from 11.00 on Friday 30 October.

The exhibition “Invisible You. The Human Microbiome”, explores the trillions of microbes that live on and within us.
A tiny yet magnificent world-within-a-world is ready for you to explore.
Inside/Out is more than a combination of words; it is also an invitation and a challenge for you
to navigate between spaces and through uneasy conversations. It’s either a space to sit in dis-ease
in the memory of unspoken conversations or an opportunity to open new dialogues.
In ‘Inside/Out’ an appropriated image of an HIV cell is applied to different mediums within
a purpose built domestic environment; inviting the audience to enter into, and consider,
a personal perspective on life-defining illnesses – in this case, HIV.
“Life-defining illnesses are that by definition. They can’t help but make you reassess your life
and impact the way you respond to the world and change the landscape of your life.
Shadows appear in areas where there was once clarity and light is shed on new ways of living.”
The installation, produced and directed by Sebastian Zagarella, speaks of life-defining illnesses
being ever-present. Bridging the gap between what is happening ‘inside’; a battle that is going
on at a cellular level, and ‘out’. It hopes to encourage audiences to engage with the reality of this
life-defining illness and spark personal conversations about something often left unspoken.
