Normal? Festival of the Brain brings science and art together over four days to wonder at the brain.
This year we explored neuroplasticity and asked what happens when we change our habits and behaviours - either through circumstance or conscious decision?
Co-curated by Living Words, Folkestone Quarterhouse and Folkestone Fringe with input from the local community, we’ve been exploring empathy, self-help, laughter and awkward dancing to ask can you teach an old dog new tricks?
This year we welcomed artist-in-residence, Byron Vincent, neurologist-in-residence, Tim Rittman, therapist-in-residence, Johannes Klabbers and a raft of artists, scientists and well-being practitioners to celebrate the brain in all its neuro-diverse glory.
