SPARK: Adaptation

Spark is the Library’s new lecture series – with a twist!

About this event

We’re teaming up with the science and technology storytellers at Future Crunch to explore the cutting edge.

Hosted by Rwandan-British composer and research-based storyteller Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe, Future Crunch will begin the night with a provocative lecture on how our ability to adapt is linked to our success. They will then be joined on stage by a panel of experts to break down the topics raised:

• Artist, researcher and Director of Fare Share Fare Dr Jen Rae, who works with communities to develop cultural responses to climate change and improve food access

• Musician and Artistic Director Ben Opie who works to democratise live music performance and champion the inclusion of new, diverse voices and audiences in classical music

Then it’s over to you to continue the conversation at your table as you digest the discussion and examine the impact adaptation ability will have on our future.

Drinks and canapes will be available to purchase on the night.
