Situated at 113Research, one of the three sites of the APRÈS QUOI festival, Medicine + Cabinet plays with the unique form of the vitrine gallery by asking artists to reimagine the space as a medicine cabinet for post-pandemic life. In exploring ideas of collection, hybridity, messiness, reconstruction, organic and inorganic forms, Medicine + Cabinet considers the changing patterns of care in the wake of major social and environmental change and aims to create a space of care and comfort.  

The exhibiting artists depict community-centered healing, reflect on their personal practices of care, and imagine how these notions of healing and care can be extended to the environment around us and to our more-than-human kin. 

Curators viewed submissions though a sustainability lens, being particularly attentive to artists who used recycled, repurposed, and biodegradable materials. Together, the artworks of Medicine + Cabinet demonstrate how we might find refuge within a post COVID-19 space as they reimagine ways of forging human and non-human connections.
