»Sketching Brains« at Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin

»Sketching Brains« is coming to the Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin in Steglitz. We kindly invite you to join the Vernissage on Thursday, 28 November, 4-5 pm. »Sketching Brains« is a collaborative exhibition-as-research project that nurtures new conversations around the neurosurgical practice. Based on a series of fieldwork within the Neurosurgical Department at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin by graphic ethnographer Maxime Le Calvé and the research of neurosurgeon and cultural scientist Anna L. Roethe, this initiative takes the form of graphic-based stories, presented and continued both onsite and online. In German and English, the texts are comment-enabled to bring the community to react and question the descriptions. The »participant exhibition« becomes a vibrant collaborative forum to understand more profoundly the implications of neurosurgery in people’s lives, on both sides of the scalpel. Eigtheen digital drawings and their audioguides can be viewed at station S 12B. This exhibition chapter is funded by the Department for Neurosurgery in Charité, invited by the station lead Jenny Döbler, and with the assistance of Kotryna Šlapšinskaitė.
