Endometriosis (R)Evolution

Making the Invisible Visible

Guest production

As part of the In/Visible Endometriosis: Menstruation, Menopause, and Narrative Medicine project, the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Aging and Care (CIRAC) is organizing a one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary conference exploring endometriosis as a cultural, instead of just (bio)medial phenomenon.

Endometriosis will be viewed and discussed through the lens of health humanities, cultural and gender studies, social sciences, as well as visual and performance art.

As a special highlight, the American artist Rachael Jablo will open the event with a lecture on Thursday 23 May at 6 pm. Afterwards, her exhibition The Hysteria Project will be open to the public on the first floor of the Forum Stadtpark for the duration of the conference.

In order to attend, please register by the 12 May 2024 by sending an email to endo24@uni-graz.at.
