Join Dr Alice Vernon, who will be discussing dramatic images of bodies and their extreme variations in manga art. Drawing on Wellcome Collection material, Alice will explore the ways in which a body can be portrayed, whether that’s as an example of the fantastical, the robotic, or the vulnerable.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions.
We’ll be in the Viewing Room. It’s next to the Library entrance on level 2, which you can reach by taking the lift or the stairs.
