About
The University of Leicester invited artists to take part in its British Science Week Brief Encounters initiative, during which it hosted 8 Mini Science/Art Residencies. Artists spent time with University of Leicester scientists in their environment and to share each other’s practices. The residencies culminated in an exhibition held during British Science Week and until the end of March in the Newarke House Museum, Leicester. This event is a chance to meet the artists and scientists involved.
