SUMMARY:Craft Collider: Crafting and Particle Physics (for Grown-Ups)
DESCRIPTION:In the search to understand the smallest building blocks of our universe\, particle physicists have invented incredible ways to detect and visualise the sub-atomic world. From the bubble chambers of the 1950’s to the digital displays of the Large Hadron Collider these images have not only helped to enrich our understanding\, they are really beautiful too!\nThis is your chance to find out about these tiny particles and create your own seasonal decoration inspired by the way they interact. So bring some friends\, come and enjoy a glass of mulled wine and an evening of making as you find out about the mysteries of this unseen world. This event is for adults aged 18+ \nFind out more and book your free place here. \n(Image SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

SUMMARY:Data Diversity in Research: A call to action for concrete solutions
DESCRIPTION:The data gap issue is not new\, as Caroline Criado Perez demonstrated in her recent book\, ‘Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men’ – from stab vests to medical trials – the “one-size-fits-men” approach puts lives at risk. \nIn a recent blog\, BenevolentAI described how in 1992 the dosage for insomnia medication Zolpidem was based on research made up of predominantly male test subjects. It was only after 700 reports of impaired driving and road accidents that dosage for women was reconsidered. Equally\, diversity from an ethnic perspective is underrepresented. In 2014\, 86% of the clinical trials participants are white according to a study published in Nature. This means that patients may experience different side-effects or may fail to respond to treatments altogether. \nA huge part of the population is still left out of research\, yet\, we are living in an age of great innovation. New technologies are empowering scientists and researchers with previously unimaginable capabilities\, enabling greater discoveries. It is the right time to finally tackle the data-gap issue and work towards a better understanding of human behaviour offering equal chances to various populations to get relevant treatments and care. \nWe’re bringing this event together to provide a forum in which pharma industries\, academia\, institutions\, research groups and private companies based in the Knowledge Quarter can come together\, discuss the challenges of data diversity in research (particularly medical research)\, combine expertise\, and initiate projects to lead to more diversity in data. \nAgenda\n8:30 -9:00 | Networking Breakfast \n09:00 – 9:30 | Panel discussion \nThought leaders in science and tech discuss the challenges of data diversity that we face currently and help materialise possible tangible solutions through engagement and discussion with wider stakeholders in the meeting. \nChair: Adepeju Oshisanya\, BenevolentAI \n\nMaria Nelson\, Senior Head of Innovation Practice\, Digital Catapult\nJackie Hunter\, CE Clinical and Strategic Partnerships BenevolentAI\nRob Wilson\, Senior Regulatory Consultant\, DLRC\nDiane Harbison\, CEO Decipher Analytics\nDawn Duhaney\, Product Manager\, Wellcome Trust\n\n09:30 – 10:30 | Workshop \nWe will invite the audience to reflect on ideas to increase the diversity of data in the research space. \nWho should attend?\nYou must work for a Knowledge Quarter partner organisation. Please register with your organisational email on eventbrite here. If you do not work for a Knowledge Quarter partner\, but would like the opportunity to share your experience and knowledge in this field with our group\, please register your interest via email. \nThis event is a follow up to the KQ Future of Knowledge Conference\, sponsored by British Land. \nFind out more about our Chair and Panel:

SUMMARY:A Secret Beauty: The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e (11 July - 21 September)
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of the Lacquer Work of Koyanagi Tanekuni.\nLacquer has been used in Japan for almost 10\,000 years to protect and decorate objects\, such as wood\, bamboo\, earthenware\, and textiles.  Its resistance to moisture and degradation make it a useful coating for utensils\, storage containers\, furniture\, sculpture and wooden architecture. \nAs a decorative medium\, lacquer has had a high status in Japan.  The lacquerware decorated in gold and silver particles known as makie\, which was first introduced in the 8th century\, is a culmination of Japanese aesthetic sensibility and purity.  The value and prestige of lacquerware is shown by the status of its patrons\, which included emperors\, nobilities\, shoguns and daimyos. \nFind out more here.\nAbout Koyanagi Tanekuni\nThe artist\, Koyanagi Tanekuni studied makie and Japanese aesthetics under three holders of the title Ningen kokukō (‘Intangible Cultural Property’ also known as ‘Living National Treasure’). As a renowned makie artist for the past 50 years\, Koyanagi has been a regular exhibitor at the “Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition”\, as well as contributing works to many group and one-man exhibitions. He has also actively been involved in the conservation and preservation of national cultural properties and treasures in Japan\, such as the preservation of the Chuson-ji temple\, a UNESCO World Heritage site.   For half a century\, he has produced both traditional and contemporary lacquer work maintaining the highest technical and artistic standards. \nAbout the Brunei Gallery\nThe Brunei Gallery is an exciting venue in central London that hosts a programme of changing contemporary and historical exhibitions from Asia\, Africa and the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Pertti’s Choice popup
DESCRIPTION:Pertin Valinta\, or Pertti’s Choice in English\, is Finland’s first social enterprise owned by people with learning disabilities.\nIt was founded by the members of the punk band Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day to support the careers of disabled artists. It will open its doors for a three-day popup in London’s Shoreditch on 8-10 August this summer. The Pertti’s Choice popup will showcase Finnish and British Outsider art\, alongside a vegan café with music performances and products available to buy. \nThe art element of the experience will include: \n\n\n\na VR exhibition\, Inside Outside Finland\, which takes the viewer to four Outsider art environments in Finland\nportraits by visual artist Tanya Raabe-Webber\,\ndrawings by Pertti Kurikka’s alter ego Kalevi Helvetti\nphotographs of Pertti Kurikka’s Name Day international tours.\n\n\n\nThe popup will see gigs by Kalevi Helvetti\, the groove jazz artist Kalle Salonen\, singer Eeva Lusenius\, Rudewolf\, DJ Miika and the Brighton band Zombie crash. \nThe team from Pertti’s Choice will be accompanied by staff members of the much loved IPI café in Helsinki’s Kallio district. Their mission will be to serve quality coffee\, while introducing a model for employing disabled people. \n“There is great interest in the UK towards the Finnish model\, and this popup aims to develop international networks of disabled people”\, says Emilie Gardberg\, director of the Finnish Institute in London. The institute is bringing the popup to London together with its partners. \nOne of the main aims of Pertti’s Choice is to create a model for facilitating the employment of disabled people in the cultural sector. At present\, artists’ earnings can affect benefits so a successful artist may even be in danger of losing their supported housing. The situation in Britain is similar\, and many activists in the sector are working to find a solution with models like Pertti’s Choice. \nFind out more here.\nAbout the Finnish Institute in London\nThe Finnish Institute in London is an expert on Finnish culture and society\, working in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The Institute supports the internationalisation of Finnish contemporary art and helps artists\, researchers and social and cultural actors to create international networks.
