A Wellcome Collaboration
Check out 'Milk, From Ground to Glass' our collaboration series with Wellcome Stories
This season we got the opportunity to work with Wellcome Stories and curate a series of articles to accompany the Milk exhibition on display at Wellcome Collection. This series ‘Milk, From Ground to Glass’ examines the cultural, political and commercial systems in which milk participates, with a particular focus on the relationships between health (personal, animal or community) and milk.
You can read the first three pieces of the series here:
Soil health and dairy farming in the UK
by Angela Hui
The white tears of Taranaki
by Sarah Alice Hopkins
How Californian dairy farmers stole a way of life
by Cecilia Moreno
All pieces are illustrated by Cat O’Neil, who has been posting about her researching and sketching up of these pieces on her instagram
Cat O’Neil is an award-winning freelance illustrator, specialising in editorial. She studied at the Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2011, and has lived in Hong Kong, London, Glasgow, Lyon and Edinburgh. Her clients include the New York Times, Washington Post, WIRED, LA Times, Scientific American, the Financial Times, the Guardian/Observer, Libération and more. Her work explores the use of visual metaphors to convey concept and narrative, and combines the use of traditional and digital mediums. Much of her recent work includes the creation of 3D paper sculptures, which are made in her studio in Edinburgh.
If you’re in London, you can view Milk at Wellcome Collection for free. Pick up a free audio guide on the way in and you can also listen to Anna share her thoughts on one of the posters in the exhibit!
