The British Academy Summer Showcase
We were thrilled to open our doors once again for the first in-person Summer Showcase since 2019. Alongside a programme of talks, workshops and performances, 12 of our researchers brought their work to life – from livestreamed global connections and an immersive VR experience to calligraphy workshops and a conspiracy kitchen.
