Mind Over Matter
12–23 October 2011
Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old Street,
London EC1V 9LT
A revolutionary photography exhibition featuring portraits of brain donors, whose identities are revealed for the first time, will go on display in Shoreditch Town Hall this autumn. By demystifying what happens behind the doors of brain bank laboratories, Mind Over Matter draws back the veil of secrecy surrounding the practice of organ donation in celebration of those who elect to donate their brains after death for the purposes of neuroscientific research.
Supported by a Wellcome Trust People Award, Mind Over Matter is a science-art collaboration about dementia and the contribution that a unique cadre of twelve brain donors, aged between 84 and over a 100, will make towards finding a cure for this devastating disease in the 21st century.
