We The Curious launches manifesto
“Are sheep left or right-handed and does it make a difference?”
This is just one of the curious questions displayed in the manifesto of We The Curious, the science centre formerly known as At-Bristol.
Part of a radical transformation of the popular attraction, the manifesto is described as “a manifesto for a culture of curiosity” and based around four key pledges:
- Cultivate curiosity
- Open up science in our city
- Enable diverse participation
- Strive for sustainable futures
You can read the full manifesto here.
The transformation will see the ground floor of the centre completely redesigned. Set to open in 2019, the new exhibition will be designed from 10,000 questions gathered from people across Bristol and beyond.
“Our inspiration for this project comes from the amazing questions we’re asked by our visitors each and every day,” says We The Curious creative director Anna Starkey.
“Our mission at We The Curious is to empower everyone to ask questions, and to open up the way science works, to enjoy it culturally as well as educationally.
“We’ is you, me, everyone. With the new funding we’ve been awarded, we have an exciting opportunity to create a new space together, and get curious about what we can do beyond that too.”
