Are you interested in public engagement? Do you want to meet other like-minded people at the University? Would you like to hear some inspiring ideas?
Then come along to this series of lunchtime meetings exploring different aspects of public engagement. There is a wealth of expertise across our university and we are running these free events to help us share engaging ideas and experiences.
This month we explore – Collaboration between the Arts and Sciences. We look at how arts and sciences disciplines across the university and beyond have worked together to create some amazing engagement activities and opportunities.
We hear from:
- Jenna Ashton (School of Arts, Histories & Cultures) – will discuss the ongoing public engagement project Colour/”Chroma”, exploring the relationship between arts and science, and our understanding and perception of sensory impairment.
- Naomi Kashiwagi (The Whitworth Art Gallery) – will talk about her work In the Mix animating the University of Manchester’s cultural wonders through new commissioned soundscapes that are inspired by electronic music pioneer, Delia Derbyshire.
- Kate Dack (Nowgen) – Exploring enhancement with young people. The Seeking Perfection project brought together creative practitioners and researchers to workshop together and develop a public performance for the Manchester Science Festival.
No need to book – just turn up and bring your lunch. We will supply tea, coffee and biscuits.
