Evolving Words  “Scientists are as crazy as creative types. How brilliant.” Ruthie, Liverpool
Darwin. Skulls and stuffed birds. Ladybirds and STIs. Experiments. Eugenics. Evil Genes. The Dating Game. Biodiversity. Individual significance and everything in between.
Inspired and provoked by their exploration of the impact of Evolution, emerging writers produced enquiring and lyrical poems and films that reflect on the personal and the global. Led by Dinesh Allirajah and Shirley May of Young Identity they worked with curators at Liverpool and Manchester Museums and a leading scientist from Liverpool University.
Enjoy an evening of poetry, film and conversation that we’ll all leave talking about.
