Come join us for an exciting engagement seminar given by Anita Shervington, Director of BLAST; an initiative that is fusing the creative power of Science, Black Arts & Culture, as a force for change. Her talk will explore the concept of a STEAM city without walls, as both a description of, and the creative mission-driven question that motivates and shapes, BLAST's strategic science engagement work.
