"The store layout encourages its visitors to linger. Carefully chosen art pieces and homewares are displayed on long tables, often accompanied by the story and the image of each maker or artist. The wooden floor boasts ornate, richly coloured rugs; the air is perfumed, and the walls are papered with posters of upcoming events. This is a place to sit, to meander through conversations, and to relax. The opposite of what you might expect to encounter in one of the School of Chemistry’s laboratories just up the road.
This setting seemed like the perfect place to perform a piece about the joy and messiness of human scientific endeavour."
I recently got to write about my and Dr Geosmin Turpin's July concert at Local Edition in Glebe for the University of Sydney Chem News. It was a chance to put some of my thoughts down on paper (so to speak) about the magic of a venue built for local communities, and how merging forces across different disciplines can welcome new audiences into both.
