SoMa: social matrices

There is interesting research being done at SoMa:I like their work into social and urban tapestries - a very innovative think-tank, currently working with both corporate and academic bodies -

'SoMa is a think tank for culture which conducts research into creative practices and their effects on culture and society.

SoMa aims to enhance the role of creativity in society by building up bodies of knowledge and experience that reveal the social matrices which make culture the keystone of society.

SoMa's activities are based around two core research themes: Species of Spaces and Liquid Geography. Our research projects focus on how social, cultural and political processes and structures influence how we live, and the ways in which we define our relations to space and place.'
