bloodscape
This self-guided adventure lets you see Edinburgh through the lens of blood - including changing trends, global campaigns and, of course, Harry Potter.
Bloodscape will broaden your understanding of blood as a vital good. Just as blood circulates in the body, it also circulates in society via supply chains. The nature of these supply chains shifts over time and place. Bloodscape sheds light on these dynamics through the embodied experience of a scavenger hunt. This event draws on research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in Medical Anthropology, including how climate change might disrupt blood delivery and how blood donation is used as a tool of social integration by immigrants. Bloodscape was part of the 2018 Being Human Festival. |
