Cafe Culturel (run by students from Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences and Biomedical Sciences, at University of Birmingham) starts a new year of events. The first event in the new calendar, on Tue 18th October 2016, 6:30 pm, at Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, is workshop/cafe event with the title Cognitive Decline: Presentations and Representations. Starting from the current RSC production of King Lear (https://www.rsc.org.uk/king-lear/), a panel made up of a visual artist (Tom de Freston), a theatre critic (Prof. Russell Jackson) and a psychiatrist (Consultant Femi Oyebode) will present views and then engage in a discussion with the audience on the theme of how the various manifestations of cognitive decline are represented in various forms of art. The evening will comprise a short presentation from the members of the panel, which then will be followed by an extended questions and answers session, to which the public are invited to contribute. You can find more details and perspectives about the event on our Cafe Culturel blog: https://cafeculturelbirmingham.wordpress.com/, or you can contact Dr. Emil Toescu (e.c.toescu@bham.ac.uk); or check the Cafe facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Cafe.Culturel.Birmingham/.
