In Relation Lab shapes systemic and societal transformation through culture and the creative economy.

• We research cultural and creative practices, models, infrastructures and methodologies that contribute to systemic transformation processes.

• We shape spaces, encounters, programmes, tools and policies that connect culture with social innovation and regenerative economics.

focus areas

culture as social and civic infrastructure

Valuing artistic methods and cultural practices as civic infrastructure that creates value in renewed relationships and shared awareness, helping communities to see and sense themselves - and rethink what’s possible.

Cultivating artistic intelligence - the qualities of sensing, rehearsing and propositioning that art and artists further - to question and provide alternatives to control-centric, linear and siloed ways of working in our social fields.

artistic intelligence and the eco-system

cultural heritage and place development

Activating locally driven sustainable development through (re)connecting deeply with natural, intangible and tangible heritage, resurfacing inspiration and insights that have become unseen inside extractive systems.

cultural policy for a regenerative context

Harvesting evidence for policies that support culture in a regenerative context by extending from a sole focus on production and consumption into nurturing infrastructure and the invisible processes - the social soil.

We think in terms of relationships, patterns and context, listen deeply, and co-lead in reciprocity with communities, places and organisations who want to work in more systemic and relational ways. Our work is informed by critical research and rooted in systems sensing and design. We are interested in cultivating shared awareness across the eco-system, bridging the siloes of sectors and disciplines through meaningful partnerships and considered collaborations.
