Léonie Hampton's gathering will include a viewing and discussion of her new short film, Our Body is a Planet, an art/science collaboration with scientists from MRC center for Medical Mycology University of Exeter. Our Body is a Planet is a short film that challenges the way we think of ourselves as individual genetically prescribed entities, independent from our surroundings. Music by Meredith Monk.

Bio: Léonie has an internationally acclaimed artist practice. She studied Art history, specializing in contemporary European and American art, and is a part-time MA Photography tutor at LCC London, UK. She is part of the collective Still/Moving, (www.stillmoving.org) along with Laura Hopes and Martin Hampton. Their collective practice aims to create social and ecological change through questioning established modes of thinking and behavior. Projects are developed through a process of collaborative and participatory dialogue and activity among each other and with partner communities. Inspired by the artist Louise Bourgeois who said ‘It is not about the medium, it is about what you are trying to say, their work emerges in diverse forms, including sculpture, film, photography, performance, installation, the spoken and printed word.
