LABRC Methods

LABRC Methods is the applied arm of the London Arts-Based Research Centre (LABRC). Both organisations share a commitment to transdisciplinarity, breaking down boundaries between disciplines to spark new ideas and practices.

Where LABRC leads in research, conferences, and publications, LABRC Methods brings these ideas into practice through courses, workshops, and consultancy. We help universities, cultural organisations, schools, nonprofits, artists, and practitioners use creativity to transform teaching, research, and professional practice.

By connecting theory with application, LABRC Methods creates fresh opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and meaningful change.

What We Do

• Consultancy – Guiding organizations and research teams in adopting arts-based research methods to enhance projects, community engagement, and innovation.
