Stress: Appraches to the First World War

UCL’s Student Engagers bring together a diverse collection of objects, ranging from a haemorrhaged brain to magic lantern slides from Francis Galton and Ambrose Fleming, to explore the theme of stress in the First World War.
The exhibition, running in UCL’s North Lodge on Gower Street from 9 October 2015, will also uniquely allow visitors to engage with the researchers behind the project.

Curators will be present in the exhibition space throughout its run, open for discussion and each bringing their unique interpretation of the objects on display and their understanding of stress in the First World War.

A number of afternoon and evening events will complement the exhibition. These include a Stress Ball to mark the exhibition’s opening, a meditation event to showcase the physiology of stress and a commemoration event on Armistice Day. More information on the exhibition’s public programme is available online.
