Einstein’s Garden is a creative fusion of science, art and nature. Engaging with ideas, knowledge and opinion this area of the Green Man Festival offers a patchwork of perspectives about the universe we inhabit and our place within it. The name ‘Einstein’ is associated with originality, creativity and quirkiness and it is these qualities that Einstein’s Garden embodies. The area’s venues are packed with a vibrant programme of events that use art, entertainment, participation and debate to engage people with the diverse aspects of science and nature in fun, quirky and unexpected ways. This year the key theme for Einstein’s Garden is ‘grassroots ideas’ so we are inviting a wide range of contributors from scientists, artists and designers to craftspeople, activists and entrepreneurs to share their ideas, as well as giving festival goers the opportunity to make their own contributions and have their voice heard.
Einstein Talks is a new project for Einstein’s Garden this year. Inspired by TED, Pecha Kucha and Ignite, Einstein Talks will be a high energy event consisting of 5 minute talks by people who have an idea. Fun, thought provoking and inspiring, Einstein Talks will be a forum for sharing knowledge, passion and creativity.
Einstein Talks will be made up of contributions from scientists, artists, designers, engineers, activists and entrepreneurs…anyone with an idea to share.
The format of presentations will be 20 slides that change automatically after 15 seconds, giving a total talk time of 5 minutes
We are asking for anyone who is interested in sharing their idea at Einstein Talks to send us a 200 word proposal and a 20 slide PowerPoint or Keynote presentation.
Shortlisted speakers will receive a ticket for the Green Man Festival (worth £120) but expenses will not be covered.
Please send proposals to ellen@thegreenmanfestival.co.uk
Deadline for proposals – Monday 21st June. Only successful applicants will be notified.
