Introducing: Here + There Collaborative Enquiry Report

In 2022, Made Culture and Watershed embarked on a 9-month collaborative enquiry connecting our cities and network in a new experimental knowledge production process.

This report brings together the process for producing collective thinking, including the tools and concepts it inspired, and insights towards building equitable and just international collaborations.

We hope our enquiry inspires others to think forward towards globally connected futures and contribute to an ever-growing body of collective thought.

Designed and led by Made Culture and Watershed, the collaborative enquiry focused on the production of new knowledge and collective thinking towards the future of international working and collaboration. Using its foundation, locally rooted and globally connected, the enquiry objectives were to:

1. Connect experts and creative professionals from our networks in Bristol, Bath, and Lagos
2. Enhance existing international discourse and encourage the development of new tools
   and frameworks
3. For its research and potential outputs to inform international development and future thinking

Within the collaborative enquiry, we present recommendations for creating equitable and just collaborations, a tool kit for provocation-led knowledge production and we imagine future international models.

Within the collaborative enquiry, we are collectively imagining future models for equitable and just international collaborations. We present a final report with recommendations, a toolkit and a framework.
