Our <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/blackbox\/\">BLACK Box <\/a>project is being continued as a permanent gallery space at Northumbria University!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/blackbox\/\">BLACK BOX<\/a> originated as a joint project by Louise Mackenzie from The Cultural Negotiation of Science and Kasia Pirog from the Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle University. Opening the door on the inner workings of scientific research, Black Box is a curated programme of film works inspired by and expanding upon scientific themes. The programme showcases films by artists and researchers involved in a creative and critical engagement with the broad spectrum of the sciences, alongside films produced by scientists that provide insight into their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/culturalnegotiationofscience\/?page_id=2889\">BLACK BOX3 <\/a>expands the BLACK BOX concept in relationship with the Department of Applied Sciences at Northumbria University to create an interdisciplinary cinema and micro-gallery on the 4th floor of Ellison Building, Northumbria University. Following an interdisciplinary working methodology, BLACK BOX3 provides space for artists and scientists to cultivate a working relationship based around shared interests, leading to an annual exhibition and film screening via the BLACK BOX3 gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-red-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>We will have an official launch event for the new space on the 30th of November<\/strong> <strong>2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please hold the date and come see our new gallery then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, here are some pictures looking back at the different iterations of the Black Box project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>February 2019 &#8211; Making the original Black Box:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped
