focus areas
culture as social and civic infrastructure
Protecting artistic 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.
Investigating 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 ecosystem
cultural heritage and place economics
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 relationships - 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 ecosystem, shaping meaningful partnerships and collaborations that bridge the siloes of sectors and disciplines.
