CNoS News
What possible genetic futures can we imagine? Is life a material that we can shape? Does identity begin with the body? Is kinship more than family?
Black Box, a joint project by CNoS and the Institute of Genetic Medicine, explored these and other questions over its four-week run at the Institute of Genetic Medicine. From 4 February - 1 March, a curated programme of 45 short films by artists and researchers involved in a creative and critical engagement with the field opened the door on the inner workings of genetic research.
Pictured above: Adura Onashile's theatrical work HeLa, excerpts of which were screened as part of the Black Box programme.
