Day 2: Science 'in touch' with other forms of knowledge

Day 2 at the House of World Cultures (HKW) brings science into conversation with other disciplines and explores the diversity of knowledge. At the interface of art and science, this day explores what happens when different forms of knowledge and design come together. When a finding becomes a sensation, a method becomes the material, and form and content become inseparable.

Expect art-science collaborations, scientific ideas translated into cultural media, and formats that treat knowledge as material: something that you can touch, feel, embody, or disagree with. Here, with the help of Queens of Science, science slips into high heels for a night of drag. Elsewhere, cells find their own voice, strange and a bit creepy, and in the corridor next door, a workshop invites you to experience a flood as a sound story.

Artists, researchers, art science practitioners and curious minds come together on this day. For festival visitors who are discovering Art&Science for the first time, the day offers the chance to experience science in unexpected forms. For professionals in the art & science sector, the day offers new insights from leading voices and institutions in the field as well as networking opportunities.
