Light refreshments will be served. <br><br><strong>About the Exhibition: </strong>The Marvin Samson Museum for the History of Pharmacy presents work by Artist-in-Residence Teresa Cervantes. Drawing on traditions of apothecary craft, pharmaceutical marketing, and visual art, Cervantes' compounded artistic approaches divulge the hope, fear, and purpose contained within the domestic medicine cabinet. As sites of ritual self-construction, medicine cabinets are porous spaces bridging the personal and political, the corporal and corporate. Indications invites viewers to consider the active ingredients of play, poetry and touch as forms of resistance to today's increasingly corporate health and wellness industries. <br><br><strong>Public Hours:</strong> <br><br>Thursday 2-6 p.m., Friday 1-5 p.m., Saturday 12-4 p.m., and by appointment<br><br><strong>Curator Led Tours: </strong><br><br>First Saturdays in September, October, and November at 1 p.m.<br><br>See website for full schedule of programs: <a href="http://sju.edu/pharmacymuseum/exhibitions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sju.edu/pharmacymuseum/exhibitions</a><br><br><strong>Access information:</strong> Saint Joseph’s University is dedicated to hosting inclusive and accessible events.
