What Is Research Now? May Festival

Book tickets

What is Research Now? presents a full year of programming around interconnected strands that ask us to think more curiously, critically and open-endedly about the role and practice of the arts.

The theme is led by the question: Can research in the arts enable us to live and better inhabit the world together? It will bring artists, curators, writers, scholars, activists, and thinkers from a range of different backgrounds to think together through lectures, performances, conversations, and hands-on workshops at the Paul Mellon Centre in London.

In May, events will explore interconnected strands:

• 'Ongoing Colonial Worlds' asking what research is under conditions of occupation and unrest
• 'On Looking' show us that how we look changes how we understand the world around us
