This event serves as the official kickoff for Research Remix – an interdisciplinary program organized by the DMC and funded by an Arts Innovation grant from JHU. Student and faculty researchers from JHU and JHMI have submitted abstracts and research details to share with local artists and designers in and around Baltimore. Artists will be producing new creative work inspired by or in collaboration with the participating researchers. Visit the project website for a gallery of all the participants.

Participants will be in attendance and displaying excerpts from their research, using this event to choose a partner for collaboration.

The event is open to the public, and will also include a presentation by JHMI faculty and artist Tim Phelps about his work and newly released two-volume book series Nature Mandalas: Life Circles of Biodiversity and Conservancy.
There will also be an optional hands-on workshop where Phelps will guide participants in making their own mandalas using scientific imagery. Attendees are welcome to bring journals, magazines, homework and other imagery of their choice to collage with the goal of “remixing” traditional academic forms.
