Art Science proudly features the book launch of "The Neuroscience of Tarot" by our very own Prof. Siddharth Ramakrishnan. Mixing Art, Science and Mysticism, the book moves from how we perceive images, form associations and metaphors, make intuitive leaps and gain insight. In this interactive workshop, Prof. Ramakrishnan will use brain maps and art to guide you through the neuroscience of imagery (using Tarot images as a tool). Talk, workshop and book signing.
Join visiting Dr. Aomar Boum as he explores how graphic memoirs and novels have reshaped historical narratives. Focusing on Saharan Vichy camps during WWII, Dr. Boum discusses how comics combine art and text to reconstruct overlooked histories. He will present a collaborative graphic narrative centered on "Hans," a composite character representing real historical figures, offering a unique lens into the impact of WWII beyond Europe. This engaging talk will delve into the intersection of visual storytelling and archival research.
