The Arts Council of Greater New Haven is proud to announce the Reintegrate teams of artists and scientists. These seven teams were chosen to receive $10,000 grants to complete projects over the next seven months. Teams were selected by an independent panel of artists and scientists.

Reintegrate Teams:

Williams + Williams: Place as Character
This team will bring together the worlds of geography and literature in creating an expandable database of places from scenes in literature. The data will then be analyzed to discover how authors create a “sense of place.”

Banach + Bliss: Cross-Discipline Learning Kits
This project will mix applied mathematics, education, and design to create educational tools that will be made available to the public at the project’s completion.

Demers + Coates + Calvo: Discovering the Higgs
Particle physics meets dance meets photography in this project that will translate the details of the Higgs boson discovery in a non-verbal way, specifically in photographs of dance. In doing this, they hope to also lend back to the science new ways of conceiving of the momentous discovery.

Slomba + Heidkamp: Sculpting the Census
This project will integrate geographic information science, sculpture and social engagement. They will be taking local census data and then make sculptures to visualize the information in a new, engaging way.

Liu + Smith + Skrtic + Gusberg + Haines + Yuh: Conversations on Body and Faith
The science of medicine mixes with the art of glass-making and photography for this project that aims to teach the public about the human body and to have them question the fragility of it, their faith in it, and the implications of disease with a series of installations.

Singleton + Jackson: Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
This artist/scientist collaboration will result in a multi-media theatre-based performance on the subject of PTSD. Their aim is to entertain while remaining informative, drawing from personal accounts, psychiatry, and biology of the brain.

Grabel + Johnson + Willems: Science Choreography
This dance/cell biology/education team’s goal for Reintegrate is to build an interactive, multi-media performance piece, exploring stem cells and the ethical implications of stem cell research.
