Meet the MPN 10: Outdoor Exhibition in St Mungo Square
Marking Blood Cancer Awareness Month this September, alongside partners MPN Voice and Novartis UK, the ARC plays host to the immersive ‘Meet the MPN 10’ exhibition outside in St Mungo Square.
The exhibition shines a light on the symptoms of a group of rare blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). The ARC is the next stop on the tour for the 10 giant number sculptures, exclusively designed by five mural artists, with Stirling-born Artist, Ross MacRae, designing numbers 1 and 6.
MPNs are a type of blood cancer that originates in the bone marrow. There are three main types of MPNs: myelofibrosis (MF), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and polycythaemia (PV). With MPNs affecting around 4,100 people in the UK each year, it’s never been more important to be aware of the symptoms. The installation forms part of Novartis and MPN Voice’s campaign ‘Meet the MPN 10’ which features 10 characters that personify the most common symptoms associated with these types of cancers – for example, ‘Night Sweats Nick’ and ‘Weight Loss Wendy’. Visitors to the installation can meet and interact with the characters via an augmented reality (AR) experience triggered by QR codes.
