Areas of Practice
Bringing together creative disciplines and academic research to collaborate with communities in order to identify and explore new ways of seeing the world, to enact change and fuel innovation.
At its heart, Co/Lab Sunderland is a creative catalyst designed to stimulate dynamic environments in which to produce cultural, economic and socially driven interdisciplinary outputs generated by - and in collaboration with - academic staff and students in the University of Sunderland as well as partner organisations and businesses.
We do this through brokering arts-led interdisciplinary collaborations that foster new connections between diverse ecologies of knowledge, practice and innovation.
We believe change happens when traditional boundaries are crossed, when diversity of thought converge to find new ways to see the world.
We invite pitches and proposal for projects which speak to these aims - be they from academic institutions, businesses and those involved in research or creative disciplines.
