About Cavendish Arts Science

Building on an extensive history of arts science engagement at the Cavendish Laboratory, the Cavendish Arts Science programme was founded in 2016 by Suchitra Sebastian, head of the Quantum Materials group and is an initiative of the University of Cambridge, Cavendish Laboratory for Physics. 

With an extraordinary history of discovery and innovation in Physics since its opening in 1874, research at Cavendish Laboratory addresses fundamental questions from understanding space and the origin of the universe, to exploring time, matter and energy in all its forms and at every scale, from the very large to the inconceivably small.

Our 2021 Fellowship

In October 2021, moving image artist Logan Ryland Dandridge was appointed to the first year-long Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship at Girton College. Logan was on a residency in Cambridge between January and June 2022. He brought specific interests in memory, non-linear time and Black experience to his dialogues with physicists.

Logan said: "This is an incredibly ambitious venture and I've definitely been put in a position to extend my practice in ways that I would never have thought possible. I think that is at the centre of this Fellowship. It is such a beautiful and delicate balance to be playing in as an artist."

The Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship at Girton College is made possible through a partnership between Cavendish Arts Science and Girton College, Cambridge.
