We had a fantastic couple of days at @hmtreasury's Policy Festival. Lab's co-chair @SRGBennett spoke as part of the panel with @DarrenPJones, Chief Sec to the Treasury, on how technology can improve policy. We also displayed Dryden Goodwin's artwork on multiple disadvantage, produced as part of MANIFEST, and hosted a stall with @PolicyProfUK to showcase our projects and inspire discussion.

Our panel conversation with @Demos this week covered rich, emergent ground, the integration of arts and participatory policymaking. You can rewatch the event and hear from our speakers, including citizen jury members, about work to rethink participatory government and decision-making through embodied, experiential and socially engaged practice. youtube.com/live/qSF2QY_45ck
