Gallery Talk: Seeing in Art and Medicine

Join curator Laura Muir for a closer look at portraits from Timm Rautert’s photographic series Germans in Uniform (1974), which are included in the exhibition Seeing in Art and Medicine, on view from September 2 to December 30, 2023. Muir will share insights about the series and encourage participants to reflect on the role uniforms play in constructing our professional identities and the way we relate to others.

Seeing in Art and Medicine invites visitors to consider the medical program’s themes of narrative, objectivity, embodiment, empathy, power, ambiguity, and care through works from across the collections. Explore big human questions and try your hand at close-looking activities in an interactive setting.

Led by:

Laura Muir, Interim Director of Academic and Public Programs and the Louis Miller Thayer Research Curator
