CAMBRIDGE
CREATIVE
ENCOUNTERS
An exhibition of discovery and exploration of research through collaborative artistic creations
The creative outputs for 2023 were exhibited during the Cambridge Festival in March.
It was a unique exhibition of art and design creations that showcased some of the world’s most burning questions in novel and creative ways. We challenged our researchers to work with creative professionals to rethink the ways they communicate their research, by means of artistic practice, graphic design, illustration, poetry, animation, augmented reality and more.
"[CCE changed] my understanding of how significant and useful public engagement can be in an exercise in clarifying your own thinking and research aims"
