Alabama artist works to correct historical narrative around beginnings of gynecology

[Nevilledog]

The history of gynecology as a medical specialty has deep roots in the American South, but that legacy is as complicated as the history of the South itself. In partnership with the Under-Told Stories Project at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Montgomery, Alabama, for our arts and culture series, CANVAS, and the series Agents for Change.

4. Beautiful sculptures

I love the tiny details incorporated throughout, from the use of chains to medical equipment to the incorporation of flowers and tools.

I’m by no means an artist or someone who knows anything about art, but I love these creations.
