About the event

Transforming Science into Compelling Art ('Science and the People')
Tickets $5.

An interactive workshop designed to train researchers, students, and science enthusiasts to uncover the most compelling narratives hidden within their scientific work—and translate them into creative formats that resonate with audiences.

Participants are guided through a structured process: identifying the simplest, most relatable elements of their research; creating socio-culturally resonant hooks; and exploring artistic outputs such as music, dance, poetry, and video. Rather than simply simplifying science, the workshop encourages participants to think creatively about how non-scientific audiences perceive critical scientific topics, such as climate change, sustainability, health, etc.

By considering cultural identity and social context, participants build narratives that foster stronger emotional and personal engagement. Led by Dr. Weliton Menário Costa (WELI), award winner of Science Magazine’s Dance Your PhD 2024, and supported by Dr Anna-Sophie Jürgens (Popsicule/CPAS-ANU), the workshop is participatory, inclusive, and designed to empower a new generation of creative science communicators.
