Links and Partners

We continue to work with a wide range of organisations beyond the academy.

Key partnerships over this period include:

Arcola Theatre Bar Bertha DocHouse Bloomsbury Theatre Free Word Institut du Tout-Monde The Whitechapel Gallery UCL Festival of Culture Urban Tree Festival

‘What began several years ago as a one-off event hosted by Urban Lab Films in our cinema has now developed into a fruitful curatorial partnership. The nature of the ad-hoc collaborations means Urban Lab events at Bertha Doc House can take on different forms according to the content and allows us all to try new formats and offer our audiences novel and fascinating events. We’re always delighted with the audience response to these and enjoy the collaboration, which we hope will continue in imaginative and engaging ways.’ Jenny Horwell, Associate Programmer, Bertha DocHouse

‘Free Word is an arts organisation and producer exploring the power and politics of words. Our partnership with the Urban Lab began in 2016 with the launch of Engaged Urbanism at our Farringdon Road venue. Since then, Urban Lab staff have contributed to our public activities and internal group sessions, including helping to shape our 2019 programme ‘Writing Our Way Home’. As part of that season we collaborated on ‘Echoes of the City’, an evening with an eclectic line-up and discussion focused on how we can rebuild community in in city space. Free Word can count on Urban Lab to bring expertise, contemporary relevance, and a brilliant way to make big ideas engaging.’ Alex Solo, Season Producer, Free Word
