Ella Finer and Janna Levin in Conversation: Quantum Storytelling and The Cosmic Oval
Science Gallery London, Saturday 11 October, 2 - 3.30pm
Join us at Science Gallery London for an afternoon of conversation with writer Ella Finer and physicist and author Janna Levin. The discussion will be chaired by Lily Jencks, Keeper of Vision at The Cosmic House, and enriched by contributions by respondents from King’s College London. Together, they will explore the resonances of Ella Finer’s new book, The Cosmic Oval.
Through the discussion of Ella Finer's book, this event invites audiences into the entanglement of cosmology and culture, exploring how cosmic discoveries influence cultural narratives and the composing of histories. Janna Levin will share insights from her groundbreaking work on the nature of time and black holes, while Ella Finer will illuminate how she responds to these concepts in her recent work. Together they will consider how ideas such as quantum mechanics and metaphors in science impact our wider culture. The Cosmic Oval will be available for purchase and signing on the night, with opportunities for discussion and exchange.
The Cosmic Oval is a new commission by The Cosmic House as part of their ‘Post-Modern Cosmologies’ series, published in collaboration with Spiral House Editions, a new imprint of Silver Press.
Free entry, booking essential.
