Workshops A and B will have generated a number of key questions, points of contact and territories rich for artistic engagement. These can be explicitly worked on in Workshop C, where we can explore issues around the contemporary / historical boundary, issues of display, look at the best artists engaging with Darwinian themes, and wider implications of the Darwinian paradigm within contemporary culture in general.

How might the set of original works by Darwin (Origin, Voyage of the Beagle, Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals, etc) inspire contemporary responses by artists in various media? Do these media and material developments in art have more profound implications in terms of a creative contemporary reaction? Is the rise of animal studies within cultural discourse of interest to contemporary practitioners?

Participants and Programme to be announced.
