TT has been at the forefront of transdisciplinary, international, academic and creative research since 2004. Developed and run entirely by creative researchers, the Institute offers doctoral courses, residencies, publications, and events. It generates space for experimentation and thinking in any form with abundant resources for sharing and connecting. We champion self-directed, curious, flexible, and socially engaged creative research working independently and/or collectively.
Our border-free platform attracts an eclectic international body of students and advisors from equally diverse creative and academic contexts and geographic locations. As part of a global, transdisciplinary research community, it creates opportunities to expand, enhance, and sustain individual and collective practices in the world beyond the walls of the academy.
We support research within all creative genres, including social technologies, curatorial practices, cultural engagement through food; docufiction and creative writing; ecology and environmental activism; expanded studio practices; experimental pedagogies; fashion and textiles; language and image; media studies, psychology; philosophy; environmental and graphic design, somatics and choreography; new materialism, object-oriented ontology; olfactory arts; peace, mediation and performative activism; post-nationalism, post-colonialism; robotics, AI and software engineering; sound and composing; and temporary architecture.
The Institute is open to exploring opportunities for collective residencies, publications, symposia, initiatives, etc. to collaborate and further enrich the creative journey of our researchers while also contributing to the mission and vision of each of our partners and their communities.
