Marta de Menezes will explore the possibilities modern biology offers to artists in a free public presentation in the Performance Hall, SoCA Armouries, at noon on Thursday, March 21.

Entitled “The Self and the Non-Self: Losing yourself through immortality and rejection,” the talk will focus on her use of biology and biotechnology as new art media, using research laboratories as her art studio.

De Menezes’ practice demonstrates that new biological technologies, DNA, proteins, and live organisms can be used as an art medium. Learn more on the event website.
