Narrative Medicine in the 51 Art Gallery Biddeford: Piece of My Heart
This event comprises a visit to the current 51 Art Gallery Biddeford exhibit, “Piece of My Heart: A Laboratory”, centering around the work of artist Sophie Hamacher; a conversation about the artwork on view led by 51 archivist Cathleen Miller in the Narrative Medicine modality; and a follow-up conversation with Hamacher and cardiologist Dr. Andrew Eisenhower. A drinks reception to follow. This event counts as an IEP module through CAIEP.
Honing perceptual skills through carefully observing visual art aids medical competencies. “Piece of My Heart: A Laboratory” offers a uniquely on-point starting place, as Hamacher’s short film and multi-media installation speak specifically to the theme of cardiology, featuring Dr. Eisenhower and focusing on Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. We invite you to visit this remarkable exhibition from the perspective of your own medical interests, and to observe the work in a uniquely interdisciplinary/interprofessional framework.
