'Entrances and Exits'
The art and science of birth and death

9, 10 and 11 March 2007

The Day of the Dead’ comes to Winchester! The fascinating Mexican festival will feature in our latest event.

Art and Mind presents Winchester with another spectacular Festival of science and art. This will be looking at what the brain sciences and art can tell us about our experience of being born and about our dying. Great scientists will be appearing alongside musicians and dancers. Performances, rituals, exhibitions and talks will delve deeply into these areas of life which affect us all.

We will have presentations from some of the foremost thinkers in this field. From the development of the brain in babies to an examination of near death experiences, we will look at the beginning and end of life from a variety of angles.

The arts will give us magnificent Requiems and ceremonies of birth and death. New works will be on show from local and not so local artists.

Schools and other institutions will be taking part and the inmates of HM Prison Winchester will again make their contribution to the Festival.
