Welcome to 2017! To bring on the new year Making in Transit presents an evening exploring the themes of Awe and Space on Friday the 13th of January 2017.

How do we respond to physical space emotionally? What is it about the relationship between our senses and our brains that can fill us with fear or wonder of a place? How is it possible for great works of architecture or immense open spaces to influence how we feel so strongly?

Explore through our Awe & Space evening the neuroscience of emotion and discover how interdisciplinary practice emerges in strange new spaces. Expect discussions about brains, feelings, outer space and life in the Arctic Circle and on a tall ship.

Miheala Mitrovic (Oxford Foundation for Theoretical Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence) will discuss the neuroscience of Awe and Space
Dr Silke Lange (Central Saint Martins, UAL) will be in conversation with Jennifer Crouch (Making in Transit, Arctic Circle Residency 2016; CABI) on the subject of Interdisciplinary Practice and working environements.
Melanie King (Lumen Studios; RCA network) will discus the role of Awe and Space in her creative practice and talk about imaging celestial bodies and bubbles
This evenings workshop will be a space-themes Exquisite Corpse workshop. Don't hold back - draw what you want.

ALL WELCOME! ALL FREE!
