CONTAGION – Science Gallery Bengaluru’s Online Exhibition

CONTAGION is Science Gallery Bengaluru’s online exhibition-season that runs from 30 April – 31 December 2021.

CONTAGION will explore the infectious nature of not just diseases but emotions, behaviours and information. Through 16 interactive exhibits and more than 40 live programmes, audiences are invited to engage with critical questions on contagious phenomena. 

As a content partners we’ll be sharing some of our research in antimicrobial resistance and plant viruses.

The 45-day long exhibition-season will be hosted entirely online and is freely accessible to everyone across the world.

The exhibition-season represents what can happen when experts from across disciplines share and create knowledge about contagion.

Equally, the exhibition programmes also bring together experts who critically examine the current experience of living through a pandemic, and identify responses for future outbreaks. 

CONTAGION is developed in partnership with the Robert Koch Institute, the German national public health institute. DBT-Wellcome Trust India Alliance,  the Indian National Science Academy, The Jenner Trust and Chennai Photo Biennale Foundation are the programme partners.
