What do people mean when they say genetic modification or cloning is wrong because it’s unnatural, or that natural food and medicine is better for you? Join us for an evening of poetry and debate where language, philosophy and science will come together to shed light on the concept of naturalness.

Exciting poet Kayo Chingonyi will perform a new piece, and the top entries of our (un)natural poetry competition will be performing their work. A panel debate with scientists, philosophers and poets will then give you an opportunity to contribute to the conversation.

The event is free to attend but places are limited. To book your place email [email protected]
