Sensory Science Exhibition
Monash Sensory Science Exhibition on Autoimmunity – Friday June 30 2023
We Invite Members of the Blind, Low Vision and Diverse Needs Communities to the Monash Sensory Science Exhibition
Discover the science of autoimmunity from leading scientists through accessible multisensory, multi-modal artworks and exhibits, including displays by the Monash Assistive Technologies and Society.
From handcrafted immune cells made of clay, food, paper, fabrics to technologies and interactive displays exploring autoimmune processes, you will learn about the ways in which the body mistakenly attacks its own organs and tissues, resulting in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis and celiac disease.
Prepare for an enhanced experience with interactive multi-sensory science books and captivating autoimmunity data sonification, where data is turned into a musical language.
This event is free and open to all, and they have now opened the Eventbrite registration for the exhibition on Friday June 30th.
