Scientist Camilla Hurst, doctor Gérard Schockmel and artists Frieda Gerson and Léa Tirabasso will participate in the conference.

Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg. together with the Fondation Jeunes Scientifiques Luxembourg and its Science: Next educational programme, introduces “Interdisciplinary Dialogues: Art & Science.” This is a conference concept where artists and scientists come together to explore the intersections of their respective fields and audiences and to create new ways of thinking.

The conversation will focus on the best way to represent viruses and bacteria in a way that is both scientifically accurate and visually appealing, or how to convey the potential dangers of the virus in a way that is not alarmist. The collaboration can thus lead to a better understanding and communication with the public.

Tickets are €8. Register and find more information .
