The Social Place: Work, Practice & Play

We are working towards becoming a centre for issue-based, socially engaged and political practices that imagines new ways of being in the world with each other, understanding how creative practice shapes different experiences of the world.

Collaborative, interdisciplinary and playful strategies are of special interest to our group’s approach, as well as exhibition projects and theory-practice conversations.

The ambition of the Fine Art and Photography Research and Knowledge Exchange Group is to harness the rich breadth and depth of talent in the Programme area and across the university to develop a research centre, with a simple aim to be a leader in the field of practice-based research for the University.

Areas of focus

To this end, we have developed five interrelated themed areas to capture the conceptual diversity of our research and knowledge exchange expertise:
