The Waiting Room Project is a discursive artistic educational project on museum collections, with a particular focus on the presence of women (doctors, health visitors, healers, midwives) in the history of medicine. In this year-long project, we take the collection of the Semmelweis Medical History Museum, Budapest, Hungary opened in 1965 as a starting point for analysing the contradictory relationship between unofficial and institutional medicine, as well as the typically ‘female’ roles associated with medical practice, health politics, and reproductive rights and regulations. We invited artists to reflect on the Semmelweis Museum’s permanent exhibition with our themes in mind, using them as a basis for a broader reflection on the role of women in medicine. Among other things, the artists investigate phenomena that were previously considered deviant, such as female hirsutism or hysteria. They also deal with key, yet undervalued ‘female’ professions like that of the midwife or health visitor.
We argue that the invited artists not only enrich the narrative presented by the Semmelweis Museum’s collection and permanent exhibition but also bring forth new perspectives for a possible reinterpretation of medical history. We argue for the crucial importance of sharing the knowledge created with the tools of contemporary art and initiating a discussion about biopolitics and social reproduction (which is not well represented in the state-sponsored art spaces of present-day Hungary).
We will examine how contemporary art is discursively framed within the non-art institution of the Semmelweis Medical History Museum and will query how contemporary art interventions can change the narrative created by museum objects.
