Actor Siobhán McSweeney takes her pal Kevin Brady to one of her favourite places in London, the Wellcome Collection. Together they explore exhibitions and items that shed light on the connections between science, health, life and art. They meet an astronaut, see a moving piece of art that prompts reflections on the pandemic, learn about humanity’s relationship with plants – and Siobhán even reveals how Star Trek influenced her decision to study science.
Notes:
The exhibition Rooted Beings is at the Wellcome Collection until 29 August 2022.
