An abstract style bronze sculpture titled Figure in Pain showing a body in the middle of a paroxysm of pain
color photo of a 1920s-1930s era bottle of aspirin with a yellowed label and a brown metal screw cap
a color photo of a box of mustard plasters, brand BRB. The box is cream and blue with a red and black border
In Pain and the Humanities, this semester at UTSC, students are working on an exhibit Pills, Plasters and Potions: Pain Histories, and this is the sculpture around which the exhibit is centered--anonymous--couldn't find an artist's name to it.
But beautiful.

A book entitled Untold Stories with two dolls and a skeleton on a doll’s bed and a doll’s wheelchair on the cover.
Can anyone explain to me why this volume (subtitled ‘A Canadian disability history reader’) is catalogued in the law section of the library? #history #disabilityhistory #dishist
