Remembering Baby: Life, Loss and Post-Mortem (Sheffield)

We’d like to invite you to join us for the opening night of an art exhibition in Sheffield about early-life loss and post-mortem. Remembering Baby: Life, Loss and Post-Mortem is a free, public exhibition inspired by an ESRC funded research project lead by a team of Dr Kate Reed, Dr Elspeth Whitby and Dr Julie Ellis at the University of Sheffield.

The exhibition is a collaboration with x-ray artist in residence at the British Institute of Radiology, Hugh Turvey, and Life Echo sound artist Justin Wiggan. It features visual images, physical objects and sound installations which sensitively explore what happens when a baby dies, from both parental and professional perspectives.

At the opening night there will be the opportunity to see the exhibition and to hear short talks from the research team, artists and special guests discussing the relevance of the exhibition for their own professional work. There will also be refreshments and the chance to meet and chat with others.

The details of the opening night are:

Location: The Art House, 8 Backfields, Sheffield, S1 4HJ
Date: Monday 4th December 2017
Time: 6pm-8pm

If you have any questions or would like more information about the research or the exhibition please email us at: rememberingbaby@sheffield.ac.uk. You can also find information about the exhibition here and can follow us on Twitter @_rememberbaby

Hope to see you soon.

Best wishes,
Kate, Elspeth and Julie
