Sculpture in the City’s Sculpting Perspectives: The Art of Hormone-Hacking

With Stella Ioannou, Sculpture in the City Artistic Director & Lacuna Founding Director, SITC 13th edition Artist Clare Burnett, London Hormone Clinic Founder, Dr Jan Toledano and CEO of Flow Happy, Alvina Appleton.

Why do we know so little about our own hormones when they impact our day-to-day lives?

‘Cycle-syncing’ is a term which refers to predicting different energy surges throughout the menstrual cycle. The idea being that there are four hormonal phases, and with some understanding, they can be harnessed to best support individuals in their lives such as creativity, work, physical health, relationships and rest.

In partnership with London Hormone Clinic join a long table discussion where we’ll hear from Women’s Hormone Specialist, Dr Jan Toledano, shedding light on the question, ‘why do we know so little about our own hormones, and what we can do to change that?’ A welcoming space to ask questions and share tips.

A Lois Weaver Long Table format is a dinner party structured by etiquette, where conversation is the only course.

There will also be donations welcomed for Flow Happy for people experiencing period poverty. You can donate here.

The Long Table is a format for discussion that uses the setting of a domestic dinner table as a means to generate public conversation. Conceived in 2003 by Lois Weaver in response to the divided nature of conventional panel discussions, the Long Table allows voices to be heard equally, disrupting hierarchical notions of ‘expertise.’ It was inspired by Maureen Gorris’s film Antonia’s Line, the central image of which is a dinner table getting longer and longer to accommodate a growing family of outsiders, eccentrics and friends – until finally it has to be moved outside. Since then, the Table has been set at institutions and festivals worldwide and invited hundreds of people to sit and share their views on myriad topics. The Long Table is an opensource format; anyone is welcome to use it as a means of generating discussion on any subject you choose.
