Artist Siobhan McGibbon and third class students begin their artistic adventures into the exciting world of transhumanism, biotechnology and possible futures...Over the next 9 sessions they will research ideas and produce work that will be exhibited at The Galway Arts Centre as part of Baboró International Arts Festival for Children, this October 2018.
In this session, Dr. Sarah Grundy from CURAM spoke to the class about the real science that inspires Siobhan's practice. Sarah talked to the students about the difference between regular cells and stem cells, explaining how stem cells can regenerate and the benefits of this ability.
Lions can’t regenerate so when this one lost his leg they had to make a prosthetic one.
