Caveat will host the launch of The Senses, an immersive ride through the body’s five senses combining the most up to date scientific research with the visual inventiveness of the graphic novel format. Step into the world of the senses… meet the four mechanoreceptors of touch, examine our taste buds up close, discover the link between smells and memories, and learn how optical illusions trick the cells in our eyes into seeing things that aren’t there.
Doors open at 7:30pm. Free and open to the public, but must be over 21 to enter.
