The Alchemy of Research-Creation

Sunday, 22 March 2026

1:00–2:00 PM

Free admission, 161 Glass St.

Join us for an interactive presentation of the new book The Alchemy of Research-Creation: On Pataphysical Experimentation, Dark Infrastructures, and Antifascist Studio Practices by Dr. Tyson E. Lewis and Peter Hyland. Dr. Lewis will give a short presentation on the connections between ancient alchemy and contemporary practices at the intersection of art and science before leading a collective experiment that will bring the book to life, transforming the museum space into an alchemical studio. The activity will involve both creative writing and drawing with an alchemical kit provided by the facilitators.
