Black Botanicals: The Root of Caribbean Medicine’ will be at the RCA’s Hockney Gallery from 16th-20th May.
I have had such a blast contributing to some of the artwork featured in this brilliantly researched exhibition, with comics detailing a medical history of the Caribbean in the 18th-19th century. Here is an extract from one of the pages. It was a challenge to try and visualise these diseases, as well as the voyeuristic and exploitative ways in which European doctors often treated their patients, ignoring their humanity in the process.

Black Botanicals: The Root of Caribbean Medicine’ invites you to embark on a reflection within these themes of horticultural innovation, embodiment and connection.
.
The exhibition draws on the impact of colonial expeditions and the natural resources attributed to indigenous knowledge. It considers the influence of illness in the production of botanical medicine, seated in the Caribbean shores from the eighteenth century to present day.
.
You’ll be presented with botanical archives from Bristol Museum and The New York Botanical Garden displayed alongside the work of Ellen Walker (PhD Communication) and William Farr (MA Sculpture).
.
The exhibition is compiled within these sections Dissolved Bodies, Folk Medicine: A Source of Healing and Colonial Ties.
