Welcome to the Binks Hub. Formed in 2021, we are a network of academics researchers, community members, practitioners and policy-makers using creativity and the arts to co-create research that makes a difference to people’s lives.
As well as undertaking co-creative research with a range of partners, we are committed to ensuring the Hub has a permanent presence in the University of Edinburgh that provides a space where researchers, practitioners, policy makers and community groups can collaboratively discuss and share artistic and creative methods.
Working together, we wish to ensure that co-creative forms of knowledge are shared, valued and used as evidence in policy-making decision making.
The Binks Hub is involved in research on a range of topics and themes, although our substantive research is broadly focused on everyday lives and community spaces, social inequalities across the lifecourse and social justice. Co-creative and artistic methods is at the core of all our work.
Members of the Binks Hub receive regular updates about our workshops, creative events, and research activities. We also offer opportunities to promote your work through our channels, and host an annual showcase focused on co-creative research.
Membership is open to all – whether you’re an artist, community organisation, policy-maker or academic.
The best way of keeping up to date with all of the events, workshops, arts activities, and research connected to the Binks Hub is to sign up to our newsletter.
