LISTEN TO BLOOD THROUGH YOUR HEADPHONES
The sound of BLOOD is coming directly to you through your headphones (and speakers). Our seven part podcast and radio series of BLOOD: Life Uncut is now available to listen to and download on Soundcloud, iTunes and Stitcher. In the series we ask whether sickle cell anaemia is a 'black disease'; we examine the recently amended legislation surrounding gay men donating blood; we tackle the taboo which stops us speaking about menstruation; we ponder over the role music played in combatting the spread of Ebola; then, we don our detective hats and investigate the bloody world of forensic science; we look into what the future holds for the blood donation service; and finally we listen to poet, playwright and performer Sabrina Mahfouz read 'Bloodlines', a collection of poetry she wrote especially for the BLOOD season.
All the episodes are now available on iTunes to download and listen to on the go. The last three episodes were broadcast on Resonance FM alongside a bonus, extended radio edit of 'Is Sickle Cell Anaemia a 'Black Disease'. Catch our re-run of the final episode on Resonance FM this Saturday at 18:30pm - Tune into have a listen!
The exhibition of BLOOD: Life Uncut in Copeland Gallery closes on the 1st of November (although we still have an event on Guy's Campus at the Haemotel after we leave Peckham).
