Abstract

‘Operation Biodegradable: Rethinking Surgical Environments’ is an interactive textile-based exhibition produced through a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh’s School of Design and Department of Clinical Neurosciences exploring the use of regenerative biomaterials within the surgical operating theatre.

Brought to you by staff, students and graduates at the University of Edinburgh, showcasing a range of artwork, artefacts and prototypes, it offers a hands-on opportunity to engage with and understand the challenges and potential solutions in designing an operating theatre that better supports surgeons and the environment. This exhibition will feature an event including performances exploring embodiment, materialism, artist talks and a panel discussion.
