Professor Nicky Clayton and our Artist in Residence, Clive Wilkins, are putting on an arts-science exhibit with artist Kader Attia at Tate Modern on 12-13th November 2016.  It is entitled Gestures of Repair and consists of a series of workshops that explore the reconstructive nature of memory.  More information about the events and booking details can be found at Tate Modern.  The Captured Thought blog also has more on this exciting collaborative project.

The Tango of Repair.
Memories are revisited- their flavour reignited to become our next living moment. You are invited to explore aspects of cognition in a colourful presentation in which Tango is the central element- become a dancer for an afternoon and explore the transformative nature of memory. We live in a changed world- what once was progress has become the dream of repair.

The City as Metaphor.
Where we live is how we live- as exemplified by the topography of our surroundings and the inner workings of our mental processes. Using Berlin as a marker, and a group activity in which you will produce a life sized sculpture of the human form, we explore renewal, regeneration and the act of repair. Join us to investigate the devices used to capture thoughts- the methods by which we preserve the past and anticipate our future.
