Anna Dumitriu: Artist’s Talk
Anna Dumitriu works hands-on with the tools and techniques of microbiology and synthetic biology to create intricate artworks that reveal strange histories and emerging futures. In this talk she will discuss the exhibition Anna Dumitriu: BioArt and Bacteria at the Museum of the History of Science, and her work exploring infectious diseases and emerging technologies through art.
Dumitriu is a British artist whose work fuses craft, technology and bioscience. She weaves complex narratives around our relationship to infectious disease and its cultural and personal implications. She is artist-in-residence on the Modernising Medical Microbiology Project at the University of Oxford.
As well as creating artworks collaboratively in laboratories and healthcare settings at the cutting edge of science, she is known for developing participatory workshops. These engage diverse audiences in order to share stories and create spaces for dialogue between researchers and the public.
