The Learning Lab Incubator was structured as a pilot programme of 5 in situ sessions in addition to online conversations (see below for the full timetable).  We commissioned the artist, Kate O’Shea, to critically document in the form of a living archive the collective and collaborative research process.

Several frameworks and questions initially guide this programme:

• What does reconciliation mean?
• How does reparation and transitional justice work in practice?
• How can SEA methods, which are relational by nature, document and amplify the complex histories of communities?
• How can SEA projects collaboratively foster civic and social infrastructure in communities facing displacement, housing issues, or post-conflict challenges?
• What role does the socially engaged artist play in this process?
• What might a cross-border collaboration in the form of a public art commission look like and feel?
