Abstract
Join artists, curators and scientists as they discuss how the utopian visions and legal difficulties of psychedelic drugs impacted art and science in the 1960s and now. Who was afraid of the psychedelic experience? Who was/is excited by it? And why was scientific research on psychedelic drugs discouraged for so long? What new understandings of these drugs are now emerging and how might they help tackle contemporary societal issues, such as trauma, anxiety and depression?
