The aim of the project “Waiting Room – Female Healers and Patients on the Periphery of Medicine” is to address the controversial or under-emphasized but important role of female healers (like midwifes, health care visitors) or diseases connected to women (like hysteria) and to shed light on the marginal role of women in the history of science.
The art project was accompanied by a series of talks organised together by the curators and the FES. Unfortunately the events took place in Hungarian, no English translation is provided. The discussions were the following:
