007 Ophiux Symposium

With this symposium at Murray Edwards College, as part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas, Joey Holder was able to expand on the research for her Ophiux exhibition. Joey's work is always research led, but this project in particular benefited from long and fruitful interdisciplinary conversations. Some of these may have began in public, with an event at Wysing during the year of the Multiverse and with an article in Art Monthly, but have continued as less formal private exchanges during the production of the exhibition. As such, we were thrilled to offer Joey an opportunity to discuss her work with scientists, researchers and artists who have been so central to her thinking.
