Between Anatomies

PROGRAMME SCHEDULE

5.30pm – 5.35pm

Welcome and Introduction by Zhang Bao Xin

5.35pm – 5.50pm

Framing Flesh and Bones by Jerome Chee

Jerome Chee introduces the exhibition as a space where multiple anatomical traditions intersect to shape different ways of understanding the human body. Tracing a history that spans Renaissance anatomical image-making to diverse healing traditions, his talk reveals how anatomy operates as a shared yet contested language, and how visual and cultural frameworks continue to shape what can be known or imagined about the body.

5.50pm – 6.10pm

The Anatomical Body by Dr. Ranganath Vallabhajosyula

Reflecting on anatomy as a scientific discipline and pedagogical practice, Dr. Ranganath Vallabhajosyula examines how the body is structured, visualised and translated into medical knowledge through anatomical education. His talk examines how the teaching of anatomy continues to evolve, shaping both clinical knowledge and the humanistic and ethical values that underpin medical practice.

6.10pm – 6.25pm

The Relational Body by Lorraine Seet

Drawing from her clinical practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine, physician Lorraine Seet reflects on the body as a dynamic system shaped by balance, flow and interconnectedness. Her presentation offers a different perspective on health and healing, one that understands the body through relationships between body, mind, environment and lived experience.

6.25pm – 6.40pm

The Body Digital by Vanessa Chang

In an era of rapid technological change, from AI and synthetic media to increasingly intimate interfaces, how do machines reshape what we think a body is? Vanessa Chang outlines a cultural history of co-evolution between bodies and technologies, showing how tools do not simply extend us but reorganise how we sense, move, communicate and imagine ourselves.

6.40pm – 7pm

Panel Q&A

Bringing the speakers into conversation, this closing discussion explores how different systems of understanding the body intersect and reshape one another.

7pm onwards
