Description

When walking through the city of Leiden, you cannot escape the more than one hundred beautiful and fascinating wall-poem murals by the artists from the Tegen-Beeld foundation. They tell stories (in the original language) from all over the world, to inspire people. As physicists we joined the project and created murals about our stories, about phenomena in nature discovered in Leiden, written in our language: mathematics. In this workshop participants will explore ways to start such an arts-meets-science wall formula project in their city. New scientists, new formulas, new stories to reveal the hidden international network of curious minds.
