About the Exhibition
What do a Brazilian fish, a Kenyan barbershop, and 27 cats in Beijing have in common? They all save lives. Join us on a globetrotting tour of human health like you’ve never seen it before. From historic photos of healthcare in the South Pacific to shots of modern-day health workers in the Amazon, explore the remarkable diversity of healthcare as it unfolds around the world.
The exhibition will showcase photographs and artefacts contributed by the academic community, revealing what it means to access healthcare around the world--from jungle home visits to First Nations greenhouses to urban cafes. The exhibition will showcase inspiring stories of routine care across diverse conditions, cultures, and environments as well as reveal untold stories of innovation — innovation that doesn't rely on flashy tech, but on human ingenuity and available materials to meet the needs of many.

Dear friends,
In this exhibition visitors are invited to explore how healthcare unfolds in deserts and jungles, in barbershops and airplanes, and from the past to the present.
The photos and artefacts were contributed by the global academic community. Through each other we can bear witness to medicine in its many forms, from ancient botanicals to new technologies, to the enduring power of community and human connection. We hope you can come and enjoy a trip through the ‘pluriverse’ to uncover stories of resilience, ingenuity and care.
