Culture Talk: The Breath of a Building: How TB Sculpted Modernism

World Tuberculosis (TB) day is a global annual event to raise awareness and reflect on the continuing health impact of this deadly infectious disease on society, and recognise the tireless contribution of those working to overcome the challenge.

This is important for us locally as Leicester City is a national hotspot for TB. At the University of Leicester, our Leicester TB Research Group have been a strong local advocate, working in partnership with Leicester Hospitals, Leicester City Council and our local community to deliver research that will improve care for our patients and beyond.

This year, we have had the privilege of collaboration with Ilona Sagar at Kingston University, in her production of a film that explores the historical influence of TB through the lens of the Paimio Sanatorium in Finland.

Recommended Price: £5

What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets?

We believe that that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. This expands access to the arts for those who may not have been able to participate otherwise, or gives others the chance to support those who cannot by paying a bit extra.

You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
