***Change of time. This event will now take place from 5.30pm - 7pm (formerly 7pm - 8.30pm)
Join us online on a Monday evening for an in-depth panel talk about perception and the imperceivable in art and science.
Photography does the impossible – it stills time – and in very few instances, it allows us to perceive what is otherwise invisible … perhaps a spirit, a sensation, an emotion. Hoda Afshar’s work is deeply concerned with this idea of grasping at what is only just there.
This virtual discussion will draw on the concept of picturing the invisible, with contributions from a synaesthete composer, a quantum physicist and MGA’s 2022 Luminary artist, Hoda Afshar.
Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe - Rwandan-British composer and multidisciplinary storyteller working between Narrm/Melbourne, and Rwanda. Multiple forms of synaesthesia add a neurodiverse dimension to Stéphanie’s identity as a third culture individual. Her research-based practice explores the construction and archiving of culture through transcription into experiential narratives.
Dr Christina Giarmatzi - Quantum theorists with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Researching quantum mechanics, causality, quantum memory and quantum noise. With passionate interests in photography, music, skating and surfing.
