Cripping Breath: Towards a New Cultural Politics of Respiration

An exhibition brings together research and creative work about respiratory illness, ventilation and the experiences of disabled and chronically ill people.

The museum exhibition draws on a five-year University of Sheffield research programme, combining archival work, participant photography and a physical Museum of Breathing. It considers how illness, disability and medical technologies shape the social and cultural politics of respiration. Admission is included with general museum entry; no separate exhibition hours are published.
