A series of informal conversation-based workshops in which participants will have the opportunity to meet and talk with Traverse Artist in Residence Peter Arnott about this findings at the ESRC Genomics Forum.

You'll have the opportunity to talk to Peter about his work, and will be invited to contribute to the Human Genre Project website, which Peter is managing as part of his residency.

This kicks off at 4pm at the Traverse Bar Cafe, and is a free, non-ticketed event so there is no need to book through our box office. Those interested in taking part can simply arrive on the day.

You can read more about what Peter is discovering at the Forum on his regular blog.
