This book delves into the long-standing human aspiration to combine art and science. In six chapters, The Art-Science Symbiosis outlines new approaches to understand current scientific practice in general and art-science in particular, showcasing how contemporary art can provide a unique perspective on the meaning and potential of collaboration. With more than a hundred full colour images, The Art-Science Symbiosis serves as a resource for researchers interested in the art-science integration, as well as a general reference for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work.In the book, twenty-two works have been selected based on their inherent merits and for the emergent knowledge that their art-science integration produces. These works have sparked novel questions, ideas and curiosity amongst scientists and artists alike which, we hope, will promote further dialogue not only amongst them but with the general public, inspiring a process that may leadto diverse, complex, and promising results with real-world consequences we have as yet to uncover.The Key messages of the book are:¿ Contemporary art is a powerful space of dialogue between science and the public¿ Interdisciplinary work based on symmetrical collaboration promotes groundbreaking results¿ Artistic inquiry can lead to new understanding of scientific exploration¿ Art-science practice could be started using a simple methodology

Gender violence is the leading cause of death of women in Latin America and the Caribbean between the ages of 15 and 44, whose structural causes are: inequality, patriarchy, machismo and the subordination of women. It has its origin in the historically unequal relations between men and women, in power relations, in the deep gender gaps; and, it must be understood as a systematic violence that has various forms and is present in each of the social spheres.It constitutes a serious violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms and a long-standing structural problem, the most extreme manifestation of which is femicide. Different international, governmental and non-governmental organizations have emerged in many countries of the world to put an end to male violence and offer support to the victims; organizations that remind us of how much remains to be done to protect women and girls from violence.
