MANCHESTER SCIENCE FESTIVAL: IDEAS CAFE

How do you make tea? Doorstop collective will be asking this question as the starting point, when you go along to this science festival ideas cafe hosted by MOSI, the people who brought bodyworlds to Manchester, where artists, curators, scientists and other 'publiks' will work together to conjure up ideas for the Manchester Science Festival

The ideas cafe aims to stir things up a bit and find common ground between people coming from differing perspectives - artists, curators, scientists, venue owners - people with different interests and passions. What better place to start than a cuppa?

Festival Director, Laura Drane joins us to update us on the 2008 themes.

 

6.00pm - 8.00pm, Tuesday July 22nd, Manchester Museum of Science and Industry Cafe, http://www.msim.org.uk/ Liverpool Road, Castlefield, Manchester

 

WHAT IS IT?

"Manchesticity" - the city's endeavours, achievements, people, places and ideas

Mind & Body - activities and topics about our brains and brawn

Planet - exploring our impact on and use of the earth, and looking into space

The Elements - atoms; earth, wind, water, fire; and of course, the weather!
