Join our Creative Learning Lab to engage in conversation with artists, scientists, curators, and practitioners from around the world about Art, Science and Wildfires
As part of the ‘Wildfires at the Art-Science Interface’ project led by the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society, in partnership with Arts Cabinet, scientists and artists are collaborating over a period of three months to explore the critical issues of wildfires from a perspective of data, evidence, representations and interpretations.
