About the Event
The Fall-Winter 6 credits course Convergence: Arts + Neuroscience + Society (DART 499, CART 499, DART 631) is an interdisciplinary course at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Concordia University that invites students to creatively explore the intersection of arts, neuroscience, and society, and how these domains shape the understandings of ourselves and others. Concordia Fine Arts students team with McGill and RI-MUHC BRaIN Program students within the Convergence Initiative frame (www.convergenceinitiative.org) to create self-directed, collaborative projects which converge artistic and scientific research.
The course combines lectures, debates, site visits, and independent study to encourage all participants to understand and discover territories outside their artistic or scientific comfort zones. The course encourages both intimate and large group discussions, as well as expressing arts and science knowledge through production, representations, and artistic as well as communicative outcomes.
We invite you to enjoy the annual exhibition presenting the Science-Art Projects that students developed in 2021-2022.
