The industrial tragedy at Bhopal through the LivingBodiesObjects’ digital storytelling

The 1984 Union Carbide gas disaster in Bhopal, India, is recognised as the world’s worst industrial disaster.  The Wellcome-funded LivingBodiesObjects project has been working with the Bhopal Medical Appeal (referred to as BMA), a charity funding free healthcare for disaster survivors and water-affected communities. In this podcast episode, LivingBodiesObjects team members Clare Barker and Lynn Wray, and the Bhopal Medical Appeal’s Jared Stoughton introduce their collaborative work to produce new digital resources emerging from the stories of survivors and activists in water-affected areas of Bhopal.  To learn more about the Union Carbide disasters and the work of the Bhopal Medical Appeal, please visit www.bhopal.org.
