Centre for Cultural Ecologies in Art, Design and Architecture
Welcome to CEADA
The wider cultural and creative industries as an ecosystem provides a context for exploring the mixed ecologies of exchange, co-creation and co-production at work in all kinds of creative and cultural practices.
Our ambition as a research centre is to provide a space for collaboration, knowledge and cultural exchange between academics, students (postgraduate and undergraduate), creative communities and cultural organisations.
We encourage collaborations that will develop new ecologies of thinking and making across a broad range of themes and topics. We support opportunities for interdisciplinary working across the arts and humanities and encourage participation and engagement in our public realm programmes.
