Neural Constellations: Exploring Connectivity

*This event is now sold out. Sign up for Curiosity Collider updates so you don't miss future events.

"We are made of star stuff," Carl Sagan once said. From constellations to our nervous system, from stars to our neurons. We’re colliding neuroscience and astronomy with performance art, sound, dance, and animation for one amazing evening under the planetarium dome. Join Curiosity Collider and H.R. MacMillan Space Centre at the “Neural Constellations: Exploring Connectivity - An Evening of Art, Science and Performance under the Dome”. Together, let's explore similar patterns at the macro (astronomy) and micro (neurobiology) scale by taking a tour through both outer and inner space.

This event is 19+ only.

Join us for drinks and snacks when doors open at 6:30pm. Performance begins at 7:30pm. There will also be a silent auction with proceeds supporting artists, scientists, and Curiosity Collider. Updates about this event and performer profiles will be shared on the event Facebook page.
