In collaboration with Hege Tapio and Auksė Gaižauskaitė

A three days long workshop will be led by artists Hege Tapio and Mindaugas Gapševičius, and scientist Auksė Gaižauskaitė. Besides trying to understand empathy we will take a look into biochemical and physiological processes in the human body. We will also work on our ideas, to be presented by the end of the workshop.

Organized in a non-disciplinary laboratory Alt lab on the 15–18 of February 2020, located in a new cultural center “Sodas 2123” (Vitebsko 21 & 23, Vilnius). The workshop invites everyone interested in the biological basis of empathy, art, and interdisciplinary projects.
