3rd Edition Artists in Residence Program UPV ai2
 

We invite all those interested in interdisciplinary research and the field of art to submit a project related to the objectives and lines of research of the Synthetic Biology and Biosystems Control Laboratory UPV. Synthetic biology currently offers many expectations in the food sector, construction or fashion, while generating numerous controversies. We invite you to participate in this call, contributing from diverse identities, how to explain the transformations, applications and implications that synthetic biology introduces in different areas of society? Is it possible to include an intersectional point of view in scientific-technical practices to avoid biases?

If you want to carry out an artistic project within the framework of the Synthetic Biology and Biosystems Control Laboratory with the collaboration of the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Cultural Action Area of the UPV and the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània (CCCC), download and read these documents carefully to prepare your application.
