Common Lab project
​2020-2021 

​Common Lab’s (CoL) mission is to create a Manual for Social Innovation through Art, in order to empower communities to overcome crises, employing art for social change, post-industrial design and commoning practices.  
Common Lab (CoL) is a programme by Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki and ArtBOX, in the framework of Goethe-Institut’s Excellency Initiatives 2020 in partnership with TIF - Helexpo. It is based on the experience gained through Project LABattoir.
