In June at Watershed in Bristol a free two day event - 14th and 15th

cultural collaboration, research and production. Speakers will 
include leading policy makers, broadcasters and artists.  For more

In early July, at King's College in Cambridge, social anthropologists

within the creative process. Speakers include Christopher Alexander, 
Thomas Lehmen, Simon Shaffer and Jaromil.  For more information see
