Kernow DAT is a melting pot for Cornish creativity with a twist of tech, perfect for the digitally curious.
With the world more interlinked than ever before, it’s important to connect in an informal setting to celebrate our passion for all things in the creative sphere. Events like this encourage the exchange of ideas between related industries and like-minded individuals. Cornwall has an amazing spread of digital disciplines, let’s celebrate them together.
Each evening focuses around a project from the broad range of creative disciplines based in Cornwall. But we do things differently. It won’t be a parade of passive talks to sit through. It is a creative event after all. Keep reading for details of the next outing.

The Book Sniffers Club is a new creative wellbeing project which aims to get our noses back into our books and make breathing fun again.
We'll be exploring the artistic thought process behind the project, highlighting the need to have some fun with our noses after a year of mask wearing as well as diving into the technology that powers the online portal for the project.
Whether you're a book worm or not, this is a project that is sure to put a smile on your face.
Justin Wiggan is an artist working at the frontiers of arts and public intervention. His practice includes a range of media from sound, phonics, film, drawing, installation, interventions and performance, and has also attracted collaboration across the medical research and creative industries sectors.
His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally: B.O. M Birmingham, Protein Gallery London, Baltic Gallery, Citric Gallery Italy, Gigantic Art Space New York. His aim is to educate, share and engage people with sound as a creative field and reconnect with their lives using sound art.
James is a graphic designer with a portfolio as diverse as creative arts projects (like this one) to designing beer bottles. He loves book design, clean functional websites, a good cup of coffee and a challenging brief!
This event has a dual format. Getting a ticket will give you access to both.
Join us on a private Zoom call from 7pm and get to meet the creators, watch the micro-documentary, take part (or just watch) the Q&A and be a part of the guided book sniff.
Watch the documentary on YouTube as part of the public premiere at the same time as the private Zoom call. You can join in with the comments on YouTube (if you wish) which will feed into the private Q&A.
Morrab Library was established in 1818 and is the only surviving independent library in Cornwall.
Located in a beautiful Victorian house in the heart of the Morrab Gardens, the library houses over 70,000 volumes and an extensive archive of photographs, manuscripts, and historic newspapers collected throughout its history. The Library’s particular strength is on Cornish history, literature and people.
We provide spaces to create, work, research, or just to sit, read and enjoy the beautiful views. We offer a regular schedule of talks and events, and opportunities to attend classes and workshops on a diverse range of topics. It's very much a social space too, and all are welcome.
