Join us for an exploration of how intuitive knowledge systems might complement current approaches in scientific discovery. Drawing from conversations during her fellowship at the Cavendish, artist Akeelah Bertram examines the acknowledged limits of current calculation systems and the role of intuition for receiving unknown phenomena. Through readings from her developing publication “Sacred Architecture,” she reflects on parallel knowledge systems, drawing from Caribbean congregational practices and embodied ways of knowing. This talk explores questions about the convergence of rigorous scientific inquiry with intuitive methodologies, considering what might emerge when different ways of knowing are held in dialogue.
