November 14th - December 19th: Photo exhibition about people with cancer at the Radium hospital

Sigrid S. Skånland, researcher at the Institute for Cancer Research, recently published the photo book “Mennesker med kreft = People with cancer”. The book portrays 50 people with cancer and includes short quotes from each participant, both in Norwegian and English. Skånland got the idea to do the photo project after being awarded the price “Researcher of the year” in 2023. The price money (100,000 NOK) was financed by Radiumhospitalets legater and had to be spent on cancer-related activity.
“I noticed that the stereotype of cancer patients presented to us by the media does not reflect the reality. I wanted to see and show what real people with cancer are like,” Skånland says.
