About

Join us for a Sickle Cell Society Awareness Pop-Up which is taking place following the exhibition walkthrough of Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker with Curator Alinta Sara. The walkthrough explores Donald Rodney’s artwork through the lens of health, focusing on how his art reflects themes of care and his personal experience as an artist living with sickle cell anaemia.

Following the walkthrough, volunteers from The Sickle Cell Society will run an awareness pop up, and share their ‘Give Blood, Spread Love, England’ blood donation project with our visitors. The Sickle Cell Society work with Black-heritage communities to raise awareness of the need for ethnically matched blood to treat people with sickle cell anaemia, increase levels of confidence in giving blood, and recruit new donors to the blood donation register.

This event is drop-in with no need to book. Join us to learn more about the work they do and register to be a donor.
