Threshold Lectures

Threshold Lectures is a public programme at the ICA exploring ideas at the boundary of disciplines. Each talk pairs two speakers from unrelated fields — a physicist and a choreographer, an economist and a poet — and asks them to find common ground in 40 minutes. Free admission. No recording. Doors close at start time.
