Bathing nervous limbs is a new exhibition, co-curated by Ella Walker, at Edinburgh’s Arusha Gallery. Taking instruction from Balneum, a 15th-century illustrated manuscript outlining the folkloric healing properties of freshwater, the exhibition relates twenty artists’* investigations of humanity’s habits in its pursuit of wellness, healing and self-care.
