Every single one of us relies on raw materials. Through a live recorded experiment, we explored public perceptions of where we should source the minerals and metals that we need for the energy transition. We invited 100 volunteers from a cross-section of society to the Natural History Museum, London to analyse and understand the general public’s knowledge of raw materials and their opinions of where they should come from – opening our ears and listening to the full diversity of perceptions presented and how these may have changed throughout the experiment. www.vectorproject.eu To maintain a respectful and inclusive environment, comments and the live premiere chat will be actively moderated.
