Adura Onashile

This solo show by Adura Onashile takes as its inspiration the true-life story of Henrietta Lacks and the extraordinary life of the HeLa cell line. In 1951, Henrietta Lacks walks into the coloured section of a hospital in Baltimore with a pain in her abdomen. A cell sample taken without her permission was then used as the raw material for some of the most important scientific discoveries of the past 100 years.
