The Provocateurs: Children's Money / Minds Eyes is a spoken word event hosted by comedian Susan Morrison at Stand 4. The evening features two University of Edinburgh academics in conversation: Dr Chris Elsden explores children's attitudes to money, from piggy banks to pocket money apps; Dr Bérengère Digard reveals how the brain blurs faces, makes Thursdays yellow and creates our inner world. It runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A double bill of accessible academic talks hosted with comedic sensibility — the kind of event that leaves you genuinely thinking differently about the world. Both subjects are unexpectedly personal: how children understand money, and how your own brain constructs the experience of consciousness.
