From 2 until 4 October Waag proudly hosts t he exhibition of the NeuroNarratives art-science residencies. Five pairs o f artists and scientists worked together to translate socially urgent neur oscientific findings into experiential, mixed-media artworks.

The wo rks explore a range of important questions in neuroscience: how calling ne urodivergence a “dysfunction” can reflect social biases; how we find a sen se of order when our senses are overwhelmed; how meditation and hypnosis a ffect our attention; how we experience signals from inside our bodies, suc h as our heartbeat and breathing; and how complex systems like the brain d epend on many parts working together.

Although the projects use diff erent approaches, they share a common goal: to make the hidden workings of the mind easier to experience and understand, inviting viewers to connect with and explore their own inner experiences.

Symposium

On Saturday 3 October a symposium will bring together NeuroNarratives' artist and scientist residents to share more about their projects, their researc h, and their collaborative process. The symposium takes place in collabora tion with Art of Neuroscience, a platform built around an annual internati onal art competition at the intersection of neuroscience and art. During t he symposium, the winners of the 2026 Art of Neuroscience competition will be announced.

At the end of the symposium, there will be a drinks r eception, providing an opportunity to socialize and get to know fellow att endees. Attending the reception without the symposium is also possible. Pl ease let us know you will be attending the symposium and/or reception by r egistering via the following link:

About NeuroNarratives

NeuroNarratives was initiated to answe r profound questions: Can understanding the brain bring meaningful change to society?
