This sounds like bags of fun. Some fun sounding talks, and then some interesting music stuff in the evening.

It's at the London Wetland Centre in Barnes next weekend
The First International Arts Pestival is dedicated to raising awareness of the integral role insects play in the global ecosystem and in all animal societies. Many of those insects are increasingly endangered through human action.
Through appreciation of “insects in art and the art of being an insect”, the Pestival aims to create positive PR for this 400-million-year-old, highly evolved taxon that has had thousands of years of bad press.
We are building up a fantastic programme of talks, demonstrations, workshops, art installations, films, music and performance, fusing art and science to reach out to a broad, interested audience of homo sapien adults and children.
It's put together by one of the guys who does Strange Attractor magazine. Does anyone fancy it? Not sure if I'll go yet, but just doing some publicising. |
