SARAH GRIFFITHS

The Institute of Change offers spaces, resources and experiences that explore the topic of change in all its forms. The facility aims to involve, inform or immerse visitors and creators by providing versatile areas, flexible building systems, maker spaces and exhibitions that promote engagement with material, spatial, or experiential possibilities. Spaces dedicated to creators allow for collaboration and experimentation, agile exhibition areas provide space for a revolving programme of activities and reflection spaces offer opportunities for contemplation. These offerings look to provide opportunities for personal or collective change, whether these relate to changes of perspective, changes in working practice or the evolving climate.
