Cambridge Creative Encounters

Explore thoughtful poetry and films that showcase some of the world’s most burning questions in novel and creative ways. We challenged our researchers to work with creative professionals to rethink the ways they communicate their research, by means of animation, illustration, poetry, performance, photography, animation and moving image. In this retrospective exhibition, we will revisit poetry and films produced over the last 3 years of the project at All Saints Church.
University of Cambridge researchers have worked with professionals from the creative arts to bring their research outside of the world of academia through a diverse range of artistic media. The research questions and disciplines are as varied as the creative ways in which they are presented – there will be plenty to reflect on and learn from this thought-provoking event.
During the event there will be a poetry reading, the chance to watch the films and animations produced during the project, and a panel discussion with some of the artists and researchers involved.
The event will take place at All Saints Church, a masterpiece of Victorian architecture richly decorated with hand painted walls and suggestive stained glass windows. The church offers a wonderful backdrop to the creative value that the works showcased will bring.
Refreshments will be served.
