EP 26 - The Waiting Room Project: Human Papillomavirus and the art of Joselo Ortiz.

Sydney Sexual Health Centre

Here at SSHC we run a project where we display art in the waiting room to help reduce the anxiety that consumers may be feeling when visiting the clinic. The volunteers who run this project recorded a Zoom panel discussion with artist Joselo Ortiz and guests, discussing his artworks related to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The conversation is broad ranging touching on the personal, social, cultural, and medical impacts of HPV as well as gender inequities in accessing the healthcare system in Australia. To see the art you can go to the website here: https://www.waitingroomproject.net/ To see the full zoom recording you can view it on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F91RVgyRVUk To stay up to date with the latest information in sexual health, you can follow us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/SydneySHC https://twitter.com/SydneySHC https://www.linkedin.com/company/sydney-sexual-health-centre Host: Thomas Munro (he/him) We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which this podcast was recorded.
