An excavation of the 1805 Lock Hospital in Glasgow. Its official function was to support ‘unfortunate females with venereal disease’, but really what happened was that women and girls were marched in, experimented on, and often never released.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
