Medicament for your Predicament

Medicament For Your Predicament is an experimental pharmacy of political medicines.

From antidotes, to ire and diuretics for disillusionment, to cures for capitalism — tonics, salves, gargles and powders for our soluble and insoluble bodies.

Take part and contribute to this project in OPEN LAB! a hands-on workshop to diagnose matters close to the heart and formulate your very own remedy and recipe for transformation.

Then visit OPEN PHARMACY! exhibition, part apothecary, part speak-easy showcasing the medicaments made in OPEN LAB!. Cat Jones and Marisa Georgiou will be serving up quick and dirty prescriptions, medicinal beverages, and the effervescent power of conversation.
