The Art of Living Long

February 19 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$10 – $15

Join a special lecture-performance on Thursday, February 19, from Vanessa Damilola Macaulay at the Mütter Museum! This Black History Month event will examine racial assumptions around the spirometer, a device used to gauge lung capacity.

During this program, you will learn about the political and historical dimensions of breath and how, in many contexts, it becomes a form of surveillance, suspicion, or regulation.

We have reduced ticket prices to make this event more accessible. General admission is $15, student tickets are $10.
