Meadow Arts presents in partnership with Cardiff University, a symposium exploring the cultural, philosophical and ethical significance of the relationships between humans and animals, as portrayed in the exhibition House of Beasts currently taking place at Attingham Park near Shrewsbury. The symposium is a part of Shrewsbury’s Darwin Festival, bringing some of the artists in the exhibition into conversation with scientists and leading academics on human-animal relations. The aim of the symposium is to engage with emerging sensibilities and questioning about human-nonhuman animal relations. Its objective is to offer complementary perspectives to Darwinian and other scientific perspectives on nonhuman animals. Symposium Speakers include: Artists – Robert Davies, Tessa Farmer, Sophie Molins & Daphne Wright Academics – Professor Henry Buller, Professor Erica Fudge, Professor David Kipling, Professor Joanna Latimer, Professor Terry Marsden & Dr Mara Miele Price –
