Close to the Bone
An exhibition that showcases four patients undergoing treatment for a rare and aggressive cancer will soon be displayed at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
About Close to the Bone
From 17th – 29th April 2024 members of the public and the college are invited to witness the moving collection of photographs, which will take viewers on a powerful journey through treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation.
The launch event for the exhibit will take place on 18th April 2024 from 5 – 7pm, where guests will hear from award-winning Glasgow-based orthopaedic surgeon Sanjay Gupta at a sparkling drinks reception.
Close to the Bone was shot and curated by photographer Caroline Seymour as part of a unique collaboration with patients and consultant orthopaedic oncology surgeon Professor Tom Cosker.
This free-to-attend exhibition does not shy away from the harsh reality of a bone cancer diagnosis, even venturing into the operating theatre to show the intricacies of surgical treatment.
Close to the Bone will be on display between the hours of 10:00am - 4:00pm in the Lock Room of the college building on St Vincent Street, G2 5RJ.
