Christina Lee and Freya Harrison and the Ancient Medicine Window
Language & Region reflects Christina Lee and Freya Harrison's growing openness to engaging with the intellectual culture of medieval Anglo-Saxon healers. Christina emphasized learning 'the language of doctors from that time' and approaching historical texts as foreign territory requiring cultural translation. They moved from viewing ancient medical practices through a modern lens to recognizing they needed to understand medieval knowledge systems on their own terms. This shift enabled them to decode effective treatments that had been dismissed for centuries.
