Settlers: Genetics, Geography and the Peopling of Britain

Oxford University Museum of Natural History would like to commission up to two pieces of contemporary art to coincide with their next Contemporary Science and Society exhibition.

From the arrival of the earliest modern humans over 40,000 years ago to the population of the present day, the history of the people of Britain is one of movement, migration and settlement. Tracing patterns revealed by genetics, archaeology and demography, Settlers tells the dynamic story of Britain’s ever-changing population. The artwork should be themed around genetics, DNA, migration, ancestry and settlement. All media welcomed. Up to £5,000 allocated to the successful artists to cover artist time, materials, transportation and installation.

Deadline 1 September 2017
