Be Patient - Se Paciente: Artistic and Medical Entanglements in the Work of Libia Posada introduces critically the work of this important visual cultural producer that is also a physician. Posada's oeuvre expands for three decades attending to issues of trauma, PTSD, social engagement and social medicine, domestic violence, force displacement, and situated traditional knowledge. Her work uses drawing (on and with medical materials), installation (mimicking clinical spaces), photography and mapping (as alternative constructions of bodies and geographies). Four essays investigate on her double practice and brings her work to a diverse audience. This is the first monograph of this important Latin American (Colombian) artist to reach a global public. tags: medical anthropology, contemporary art, social medicine, health humanities, humanities, visual arts, latin american art, art criticism, art history, colombia, trauma studies.
