A DC Science Café event:
Two Artists and Their Science

Artists and scientists always have shared methods and outlooks. They experiment with materials and test imagined constructions of how the world works. Whereas scientists primarily strive to edit and refine their depictions of nature toward ones that are ever more consistent with their measurements and experimental data of phenomena, artists primarily aim to arrive at depictions that will open us to metaphoric and analogical connections to our intellectual, emotional and spiritual relationships with that world.

Join painter Nana Bagdavadze and sculptor and educator Rebecca Kamen in a discussion about how artists embrace  scientific ideas and imagery  in their own efforts to express profound realities about the universe and the human experience.
