Identity, Culture, and the Science Performance, Volume 1: From the
Lab to the Streets is the first of two volumes dedicated to the
diverse sociocultural work of science-oriented performance. A
dynamic volume of scholarly essays, interviews with scientists and
artists, and creative entries, it examines explicitly public-facing
science performances that operate within and for specialist and
non-specialist populations. The book’s chapters trace the
theatrical and ethical contours of live science events, re-enact
historical stagings of scientific expertise, and demonstrate the
pedagogical and activist potentials in performing science in
community settings. Alongside the scholarly chapters, From the Lab
to the Streets features creative work by contemporary
science-integrative artists and interviews with popular science
communicators Sahana Srinivasan (host of Netflix’s Brainchild)
and Raven Baxter (“Raven the Science Maven”) and artists from
performance ensembles The Olimpias and Superhero Clubhouse. In
exploring the science performance as a vital but flawed method of
public engagement, it offers a critique of the racist, ableist,
sexist, and heteronormative ideologies prevalent across the history
of science, as well as highlighting science performances that
challenge and redress these ideologies. Along with its
complementary volume From the Curious to the Quantum, this book
documents the varied ways in which identity categories and cultural
constructs are formed and reformed through science performances.
