098140/Z/12/Z: Neurocomic

Project Summary:Neurocomic' will be a six-volume series of comic books engaging audiences with historical and contemporary ideas in neuroscience. The books will be distributed at science centres, science festivals and comic festivals. The project will also include 'The Mad Scientist's Tea Party', an illustration workshop with comic artist Matteo Farinella at which members of the public will meet and engage with real neuroscientists, talk about different themes in neuroscience, and create their own comics as a result of their discussions and interactions. These will be exhibited at 'Your Brain Redrawn', an exhibition at the Prince's Drawing School in London, together with a screening of a 15-minute documentary film by Richard Wyllie, 'DocComic', that documents the making of 'Neurocomic'.
