Workshop: Reshaping The Stories That Make Us

This workshop, inspired in part by Rachel Aviv’s book Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us, aims to curate a tactile and participatory exploration of individuals’ relationships to their medical archive. Co-created among the body, the medical care team, and the patient’s behavior, medical documents offer a specific, medicalized perspective on the patient’s experience that doesn’t always reflect the story that person would tell.
