About Us

The Cavendish Arts Science programme creates collective encounters between art and science that explore the world, our humanity, and our place in the world.

We support artistic work that questions traditional centring of voices and ways of knowing.

Our programme creates new spaces to re-imagine material and immaterial universes.

Programme News

We are delighted to announce artist, composer and DJ Ain Bailey as the second Cavendish Arts Science Fellow at Girton College, following selection from a wide-reaching Open Call.

Ain's practice explores sonic autobiographies and the constellation of sounds that form individual and community identities. Her compositions encompass field recordings and found sounds and are often inspired by reflections on silence and absence, feminist activism and architectural acoustics, particularly of urban spaces. She has developed numerous collaborations with performance, sonic and visual artists, creating multi-channel and mixed media installations and soundtracks for moving image, live performance and dance.

She will be in residence in Cambridge from January to September 2023, immersing herself in conversations with faculty, staff and students across the Cavendish Laboratory and beyond.  We are excited by the potential for new experimental compositions to emerge as we look towards the opening of the Ray Dolby Centre.
