To open our new exhibition, Broken Symmetries, we partnered with Liverpool John Moores University and Liverpool LASER (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendevouz) to bring a series of talks from artists and scientists who are pushing the boundaries of artist research and deepening engagement with science.

This series of Liverpool LASER talks are Introduced by Professor Caroline Wilkinson, Director of the School of Art and Design (LJMU) and Monica Bello, Co-Curator of Broken Symmetries and Curator & Head of Arts at CERN.

Watch the talks below.
