The Turbine Plays is a network of artists, musicians, composers, creatives, scholars, education, students, citizens and heritage professionals. We strive to connect local initiatives with higher-level decision making and also work across cultural, cross-generational (from school to senior scholars) and disciplinary boundaries. We organize and communicate transdisciplinary exchanges and meetings around themes of interest.
We produce and exhibit the results of these encounters at relevant venues or on-line, to connect and stay in touch with the public, spark conversations with citizens and all other stakeholders, and use art as a key transformative force to bring the process together, and most importantly collectively socially innovate and develop cultural products of contemporary interest.
