“The tree itself, with its trunk and branches, represents the cancer center and the oncology team. The branches support and provide protection to the leaves, which are the patients and survivors. The individual leaves are connected to each other and share the support of the branches and the trunk. Knowing that they are loved and not alone, the leaves have the strength to do the things they did not know they were capable of doing.”

“Annie Dennison had enjoyed both photography and creating mixed-media art before she was diagnosed with #breastcancer, but the diagnosis spurred her to pursue art more intensely, she says. #Chemotherapy left her too sick to go out and take pictures, so she looked for something that she could photograph at home. Then she got an idea: to take #Barbie dolls, pull out their hair to simulate chemotherapy’s well-known #sideeffect , and then dress, pose and photograph them.”

“In her series Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumour, Wangechi Mutu uses 19th century medical diagrams as a basis for invented portraiture. The original illustrations, symbolic of colonial power, suggest a wide range of cultural pre-conceptions: from the ‘superiority’ of European ‘knowledge’ to the classification of nature (and consequently race) into genealogical hierarchies. In Uterine Tumor, Mutu challenges these imposed values, using physical disease as a metaphor for social corruption.“ By Wangechi Mutu - Saatchi Gallery

Historical medical journal article by Thomas Ashworth describing circulating tumor cells in 1869

“A case of Cancer in which cells similar to the Tumours were seen in the blood after death. (…) The fact of cells identical with those of the cancer itself beeing seen in the blood may trend to throw light upon the mode of origin of multiple tumours existing in the same person”

Voglio lasciare qualcosa di scritto per ricordarmi di tumblr tra anni. Voglio riempire queste pagine con tutti i vostri url. Tra qualche anno, quando riprenderò in mano questo quaderno, sarà pieno di voi.

Rebloggate e vi inserirò. Prometto che, rileggendovi, passerò sui vostri blog e lascerò, anche io, un segno.

Grazie a tutti voi.
