Legacies of Sickle Cell

Created by Wellcome Collection

Join a panel discussion exploring artistic-, collections- and community-based work on sickle cell disease.

Join a panel discussion exploring artistic-, collections- and community-based work on sickle cell disease.

Facilitator F Zeeshan Choudhury, curator and educator Alinta Sara, and artist and sickle cell survivor Laurel Brumant-Palmer will reflect on the hidden legacies in research and the disconnect between the sickle cell community and the NHS.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions, and you are invited to share your thoughts, but you are equally welcome to simply listen.

You can dive deeper into our collection through a small digital showcase of material curated by Alinta.
