About the LABRC
The London Arts-Based Research Centre (LABRC) is the UK’s premier arts-based research organization, offering a wide range of inspiring projects, conferences, as well as creative research opportunities.
The LABRC is a not-for-profit organization. Its mission is to advance knowledge, foster creativity, and promote innovative research through the integration of creativity and academic inquiry. We strive to create a dynamic platform for writers, scholars, academics, and artists to explore, collaborate, and push the boundaries of arts-based research methodologies.
Upcoming Events
Our activities welcome creatives and researchers of various levels of experience—from the nascent to the well-established. Online or in-person, , the LABRC offers inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and the opportunity to share, discuss, and transform your research or writing.
Indelible Literary and Arts Journal
Indelible is a literary and arts journal reaching out to a broader community of writers, both established and emerging. Indelible’s name, inspired by the way the poet Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) used it in her poem Trilogy, refers to inerasable ink, which is a metaphor for the power of words.
Psychreative
Psychreative is a monthly get-together for Jungian creatives. The purpose is to build an international community of Jungian creatives and to find a fun, informal way for cultivating a shared artistic space under the umbrella of “active imagination”.
How Do Creativity and Research Intersect?
We have been witnessing this complementary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary relationship between knowledge and creativity, both of which, through arts-based research, manifest as one and the same. We have all let our art take us and lead us to new places. We have all let it teach us as it turned into a creativity-led mode for knowledge-making. Poets, writers, visual artists, and researchers in psychology share how their craft leads to knowledge-making.
