Tate and the Royal Society collaborate to bring together scientists and artists to imagine the social and psychological impacts of climate change.

The event begins on Friday 19 March at 18.30 with a screening of drama-documentary The Age of Stupid (2009), which is followed by a discussion.

The symposium programme starts at 10.30 on Saturday 20 March and includes presentations, panel discussions and a public forum following a series of break up sessions where the audience will have the opportunity to formulate propositions and questions to the speakers with the help of a group of facilitators.

Speakers in the symposium include: Professor Brian Hoskins, Lucy Orta, Robert Bloomfield, Tomás Saraceno, Professor Steve Rayner, Agnes Denes and Professor Corinne Le Quéré.

The event will be held in collaboration with the Royal Society to coincide with its 350 anniversary involving over 150 UK organisations including Tate Modern. One of the Society’s anniversary aims is to reinvigorate the role of science in society and in our broader culture.
