2 Summary Hidden Stories of the Heart 6 To all readers of the magazine who live in London, this is a unique call if you are looking for interesting plans for the second weekend of October! Come join research students Marica (@maricaS8, King’s College London), Sophie (www.richtersophie.com, Royal College of Arts) and Elizabeth (@ elizabetho157, Royal College of Arts), at the Science Museum on the 9 th - 10 th of October to explore the new installation Hidden Stories of the Heart. Hidden Stories of the Heart invites you to connect with the complexity of our hearts through creativity. Observe handmade papier-maché models, investigate their uniqueness and discover how medical imaging is advancing our understanding of how traumatic life events can impact the shape and function of our hearts. Our hearts are often thought of as our emotional centre. Advances in medical imaging have furthered our understanding of our hearts and studies suggest that trauma from extreme life events can have an impact on the structure and function of the heart. Drawing on personal accounts of women from the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry and methods of analysing cardiac images, Hidden Stories of the Heart translates experiences of trauma into abstract models and sounds of the heart to explore how stress and disease can affect our vital organs. The use of papier-maché - which sees distressed, shredded paper transform into a strong structure - echoes the resilience of the women and their hearts. We invite you to this wonderful exhibition where we will welcome you to listen and share your hidden stories of the heart!
