The (St)Ages of the Brain

Imagining The Brain 2010

Our brains undergo major changes from early development, through adolescence to old age and also with major life-changing events. We will explore how the brain changes and ask artists to consider how our identity evolves along with our changing brain.
The artists should explore questions such as: what is maturity and when does it occur?; what happens when we fall in love?; exam pressure- stimulus or oppression?

“Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.”     Tom Stoppard
