The XClinic is “modeled on other health clinics at universities. However the project approaches health from an understanding of…local environments; rather than on the internal biology and genetic predispositions of an individual.” Instead of medicine, the clinic prescribes actions that help bring awareness to environmental and health issues.
Artist and director of the clinic, Natalie Jeremijenko gives a great TED talk about the some of the XClinic prescriptions/art projects that help improve the environment and overall health.
