 For centuries, in both the arts and the sciences, the human heart has been a source of reverence and marvel: Western artistic traditions have explored the heart as the vessel of sacred identity and the visceral instrument of emotional life, while the sciences know it as an exquisitely complicated pump that has tested the limits of medicine and engineering. Although these approaches may seem incompatible, recent advances in both fields provide surprising opportunities for art and science to converge around new insights and questions.

 Join us for the opening night of the Radcliffe's new exhibition: *Dario Robleto - Unknown and Solitary Seas: Dreams and Emotions of the 19th Century.* [Professor Jennifer Roberts](/people/jennifer-roberts), Elizabeth Cary Agassiz Professor of the Humanities, will be opening the lecture series, followed by a conversation between the artist [Dario Robleto](http://www.dariorobleto.com/), whose exhibition at the Radcliffe Institute rethinks the deep history of cardiological recording, and [Doris A. Taylor](https://www.texasheart.org/people/doris-a-taylor/), a scientist whose work toward regenerative transplantation is reshaping the metaphorical—as well as the medical—prospects of the human heart.
