Gastromancy Exhibition Launch - Festival of the Future 2024

Gastromancy is a new exhibition of works by Katherine Fay Allan, supported by Creative Scotland and the University of Dundee. Featuring film, audio, performance and sculptural works, this body of work considers how we can listen to our bodies to predict the future.

Rooted in lived experience of chronic pain, these visual and audio compositions are drawn from scientific research and folklore imagery. This work is a sound bath of sonic descriptions of the gut-brain axis and aims to discuss the wider socio-economic implications of gut health, patient experience and the dangers of ignoring our gut-feelings.

Join us for some refreshments, the opening ceremony and live performance of Gastromancy in LifeSpace Science Art Research Gallery.

Please note that due to the new Protect Legislation we may have to perform random bag checks, for everyone's safety. We therefore recommend not bringing any large bags into the venue as we have no storage facilities. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
