León, Gto., June 13, 2018.- Juliette Viridiana Villalobos Anaya, a recently graduate from the educational program in Culture and Art of Campus León of the University of Guanajuato (UG), presented the exhibit "La importancia de la documentación fotográfica en los procesos quirúrgicos" (The importance of the photographic record of the surgical procedures).

For Juliette, this work answers her research protocol to obtain the title: "my annexes result in this exhibit, they are 22 photographs that I shot in different medical specialties in public and private hospitals in the city of León".

Everything began three years ago through an invitation made to Juliette to take publicity photos for a hospital in León.

She recalls her attendance to a surgical procedure to remove appendixes through laparoscopy, where she said that "that was when I discovered the wonderful world of medicine, I was fully in love of what the surgeon was doing, and my interest grew exponentially".

During the opening ceremony held in the venue Forum of Campus León, Juliette shared she met Dr. Fernando Contreras, and it was him who she told she wanted to do more than publicity, something deeper such as document it.

So, she explained that the questions that guided her research were based on, what place has photography for the medicine? Why if there is an X-ray room, there isn't another next door to take pictures?

She referred that, if there are X-rays, the mammography and the laparoscopy as diagnosis images, why not have photography as a follow up image.

Juliette mentioned that she spent many hours in ORs that resulted in this exhibit, which has the hall's text written by Dr. Carlos Hidalgo Valadez, Rector of Campus León and medical surgeon as a profession.

The advice of the research project, as well as the exhibit were overseen by Dr. Magali Barbosa Piza, a professor-researcher of the Department of Cultural Studies.

During the opening, they had the attendance of Dr. Alex Ricardo Caldera Ortega, Director of the Division of Social Sciences and Humanities and M. Adrián Tenorio Núñez, Coordinator of University Extension. The exhibit will be open until June 19 in the venue Forum of such campus.
