Discover the science behind why we naturally turn to art for wellbeing. Featuring world-leading researcher Professor Daisy Fancourt, this talk and hands-on workshop explores compelling evidence on how engaging with creativity can influence brain function, reduce stress and pain, improve mental health, and help combat loneliness.
After the discussion, you'll create your own colourful collage self-portrait, drawing inspiration from Beth Suzanna's figurative paper-cut work. Explore playful techniques and dynamic shapes while experiencing first-hand the wellbeing benefits explored in the presentation.
Art Club is a relaxed, welcoming space to discover bold ideas, get creative, and meet others interested in the arts and research. Drinks and snacks are available at the bar throughout the evening. The event features live subtitles and will be live-streamed on YouTube, though the full experience takes place in person.
