We are very happy to share with you our ART Lab Enquiries research project. These are flexible short, 6-week research projects that are open to projects in the Global South to apply to do. They can be on any topic in arts and homelessness and are designed to give projects the chance to collaborate with other people on ideas important to them. AHI will fund 10 of these knowledge-exchange projects to take place in Sept/Oct 2022 which will then lead onto the formation of hubs of learning in early 2023.

Please find attached the following:
