Living Methods: Sensibility and Socially Engaged Art Praxis

The Social Sensibility R&D Department merges socially engaged art and sociological experimental field research to ignite empathy-driven social change. We empower communities to bridge divides through participatory creativity and grounded insights, turning dialogue into inclusive action. Co-creating art that provokes, and research that reimagines equality, we amplify marginalized voices to re-imagine just societies, one experimental intervention at a time.
