Want to get positively disrupted?

We are calling all University of Wolverhampton students to join exciting, free events organised by the Schools of Humanities and Arts. The Positively Disruptive events for the Being Human Festival include delving into Digital Humanities with focus on using eye tracking technology to explain unconscious biases. The Reading the Black Country event will be held at Black Country Living Museum.

There will be interactive encounters, both in person and online, with care and chat bots and an opportunity to discover Geopoetics in local parks in a Walking Wolverhampton for Wellbeing event as well as a chance to create and maintain disruptive energy in the city through art following the British Art Show 9 exhibition.

A storytelling session by Dr Daisy Black will explore The Bayeux Tapestry, which stitches together a vivid, epic and moving account of the events leading up to the 1066 Battle of Hastings. Professor Bas Groes will also interview the Booker Prize winning writer, Julian Barnes, at an event in London. 

And a Resonating Hearts between Ukraine and the Black Country event creates a literary bridge between the two countries using literature and poetry to unite cultures whilst supporting and inspiring people in times of crisis. Contributors to this event include the Ukrainian poet Halyna Kruk and West Midlands writers Liz Berry and Lisa Blower.
