Art Hx—by tessellating various materials, research specialities, and methods via a unique digital platform—unravels the different modes by which visual imagery and medical history have, in combination, been accessory to racist and imperialist endeavors.
At Art Hx, Constellations bring images together to envisage their often elided or
