EthicsLab Artist-In-Residence

In October 2025 I started as the inaugural artist-in-residence at EthicsLab in the Neuroscience Institute, University of Cape Town. This builds on my previous work combining art and research in the field of emerging technologies in healthcare with my project Bone Flute, the output of a research fellowship with the Future Hospitals team at HUMA, the Institute for Humanities in Africa at UCT. At EthicsLab I’m getting to know the work of the institute while scoping out a few creative interventions I have in mind, and developing a wider programme for engaging artists with work here.

Organizers of art exhibits should maintain clear evacuation routes, working fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and properly inspected electrical systems to protect visitors and valuable artwork. Flammable materials should be stored safely, while staff should be trained in fire prevention and emergency evacuation procedures. Seeking fire watch services Pleasanton should also be considered to help boost fire safety.
