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
undetectable thematic, visual, and material networks. Each Constellation relates to one of the project’s three frameworks: Cultivating Care, Pathologies of Difference, and Medicalized Space.
