I'm excited to announce that You Mean the World: Nursing and the Climate Crisis is now open, following an evening of talks on health care and climate change to inaugurate the exhibition. Commissioned by the Royal College of Nursing, my six-channel animation and sculpture with salvaged mobile phone A Gloved Turned Inside Out is being exhibited alongside historic and contemporary medical artifacts and research into a circular economy for health care waste.
A Glove Turned Inside Out explores the environmental impact of the digitisation of nursing and the growing e-waste crisis by exhibiting a set of discarded mobile phones - devices that are frequently used in interactions between nursing staff and their patients. A six-channel animation playing on the phones show the simple yet frequent gesture of removing and disposing of medical gloves based on short videos submitted by Royal College of Nursing members removing their own protective gloves at work.
The opening event last Thursday 14th November included talks on the history and future of nursing in the climate crisis by Professor Rupert Read, co-director of the Climate Majority Project, Professor Katherine Townsend, Richard Smith (UK Health Alliance on Climate Change), Clare Nash (senior nurse leader and sustainability procurement lead) and Rose Gallagher (RCN Professional Lead for Sustainability).
The exhibition will be on show until 13th April 2025 at the Royal College of Nursing, London.
