Working across cultures and across disciplines - can we find a common language?
Junctures 1 programme: Nowruz Longue Table, Peachy Coochy presentations and a joint discussion on International Exchange, Innovation & Experimentation.
Scientists and artists from the UK and Iran explored inter-cultural and interdisciplinary dialogue and discussed how working across sectors and across geographies fostered experimentation and innovation.
The Long Table is a dinner party where conversation is the only course. A Long table is set up with chairs, microphones and refreshments - anyone is welcome to ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or simply sit, watch and listen.
