There are seven billion people around the world sharing one collective experience – being human. Yet no two lives are the same.
We are interested in the human condition; the things that bring us together and the barriers keeping us apart. Through research we are exploring how our experiences are shaped by history, art, language and culture.
We are shining a light on the dark corners of our past and probing new technologies for use in the arts. We are diving deep to uncover marine history and looking to the stars for connections between society and space. And we are inspiring ground-breaking ways of viewing our world through the arts.
We are interested in changing lives and changing the world – creatively.
