Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
The exhibition “Science Porns” presented photographs by Hélène Bellenger, winner of the school of photography of Arles. The aim of this exhibition is to question the subjective and unrealistic aspects of scientific pictures when the injunction for publication and popularization of science “dysneylandize” sometimes the pictures and the meaning.The discussion in the bookshop “La Boite à Livres”, with Hervé Chneiweiss, the author of “Notre Cerveau” was a pretext to discuss about the complexity of the brain and about its important capacity to think, to dream, to remember, to have emotion…..Both events were weakened by the arrival of Covid 19 and only few people attended the exhibition and the discussion compared to previous BAW. The exhibition was stopped after one week and we had to cancel all the other events because of the lockdown decided by the government.
