We’re not sure if sci­ence is the new rock ’n’ roll, but art and sci­ence are com­ing togeth­er in Dia­logues with Tomor­row, a series of col­lab­or­at­ive talks over the next couple of months:

DIALOGUES WITH TOMORROW places artists in con­ver­sa­tion with sci­ent­ists, busi­ness people and thinkers on themes relat­ing to cli­mate change. In each ses­sion, an artist or cul­tur­al com­ment­at­or presents ideas and work inspired by envir­on­ment­al issues. A response is provided by an expert in the field, fol­lowed by a dis­cus­sion that brings togeth­er the know­ledge, ideas and reac­tions of the speak­ers.

The first talk is next Thursday, April 15, 5.45pm at Down­stage Theatre. Called Ant­arc­tica Terra Nul­li­us?, it looks at art’s role in giv­ing us a new under­stand­ing of Ant­arc­tica. Tick­ets are $15 and can be booked at Down­stage.
