Creativity connects everyone and there have been shifts in educators’ understanding of where imagination is encouraged. Art, with its opportunities for boundless imagination, and science, with its methodological rigour, as separate disciplines are no longer the case. Ways of knowing and thinking are increasingly informed by the role of affective insight and imagination. Both the arts and sciences can unite to explore and spark curiosity across a range of global issues and future thinking.

In this webinar will hear from two presenters that are crossing these boundaries. In this webinar will hear from two presenters that are crossing these boundaries.

Presentation 1: Tilly Boleyn, Head of Curatorial at the Science Gallery Melbourne https://sciencegallery.org/ will talk about what happens when you connect and involve young people in the creation of a gallery. She will take you behind the curtain into the inclusive curatorial practice that connects with young people, scientists, artists and beyond to spark new ideas through the collision of science and art. Illustrated by the development of the ‘Break the Binaries” exhibition, which presents a playful and kaleidoscopic view of genders, identity and their relationship with science and technology, creativity, culture, race and sexuality.

Presenter2: Diego S. Maranan is a transdisciplinary researcher, artist, and designer. He is the dean of the Faculty of Information and Communication Studies at the University of the Philippines Open University and co-founder of Space Ecologies Art and Design (SEADS) https://seads.network/ . Using recent artscience research and creative projects he was involved in, he shall argue that despite—or indeed because—of the challenges confronting the Global South, research, practice, and education on the intersections of the arts and the sciences are more necessary than ever.
