About this Event
Quantum Words Perth returns in 2022 with writers, scientists and creatives from across various fields. Join us as more than 40 speakers come together from across Australia for two days of extraordinary conversations about the ways in which we come to understand ourselves, our world, and the expansive universe we live within.
WHY HUMANS MAKE ART
Every human society makes pictures, sings songs and tells stories, but why do we do it? Is there an evolutionary imperative to make art? Noongar musicologist Clint Bracknell, evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks and poet Annamaria Weldon talk with festival director Jane McCredie about the meanings and uses of art and what scientists and artists can learn from each other.
