The Living Couture-event is organized by students of the Leiden University Honours class "Who Owns Life?" and sponsored by the The Arts & Genomics Centre.

The Arts & Genomics Centre is coordinating a new edition of the Leiden University Honours class on Bioart. Centered around the theme "Who Owns Life?", the class will bring together different perspectives on the issues of owning life including aesthetic, legal, scientific, ethical, and economic. In order to connect the philosophical questions involved with everyday scientific practice and with artistic practice, the Australian bio-artist Boo Chapple will work in the lab with some hands-on biological techniques.
