Until December 4th, exhibition room Cima of the patronal Cecot building will hold this exhibition that has toured Spain, showing the nude bodies of people who suffered the disease. The VHIR researcher spoke about the need to establish a comprehensive care system to help these people, who now, decades after overcoming the disease, deal with what is known as post-Polio Syndrome. Nowadays professionals in Vall d’Hebron look after over 200 people with this illness. The photographic exhibition, with images by Bernat Millet, explores poliomyelitis’s memory through the bodies of people who went through the illness, its consequences, and further effects. The exposure’s goal is to raise awareness in society about the illness trough the scars and stories of the people pictured.
