Workshops: Training the Senses

Training the Senses is a long-term series of interactive workshops on the intersection of art and science. The sessions focus on gaining and sharing physical knowledge with practical experiments. By actively training the senses, participants explore their environment in a new way. 

Each workshop explores a different theme with new experts. By doing this, Training the Senses has been bringing a wide array of makers together since 2016 in workshops that take different shapes: participants go on walks with city flaneurs, explore the relationship between words and smell with neuroscientists and odor specialists, collect movements about to become extinct with dancers and choreographers, or spend an evening with a food designer, composer, surgeon, mosquito breeder or puppeteer.
