Being She Subtitled The Culture Of Women’s Health And Health Care Through The Lens Of Wholeness, this is a highly innovative way to commemorate 100 years of Women’s College Hospital. Though a second-floor group show has already closed, the Gladstone’s third and fourth floor exhibit continues into August, with photo-based works on healing by Nina Levitt, Jane Martin, Meryl McMaster and Sarah Anne Johnson, whose heartbreaking House On Fire project is about her grandmother, a patient at the Montreal clinic that performed the notorious CIA-funded LSD experiments.
