ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Social and Economic Change Laboratory (SE-Change) at UBC’s Okanagan campus focuses on the interdisciplinary study of social and economic change. We work with communities and publics, locally and globally, to share and co-create knowledge on the challenges that matter to them. Through exhibitions, performances, and conversations, the SE-Change Festival explores social and economic change in real places – what it looks like, its effects, and how it is shaped. The Festival brings together academics, artists, and members of publics, locally and from various parts of the world, in a forum where they can interact, express themselves, and inquire.
We look forward to welcoming you at the Festival!
Please note all activities and exhibits are free and open to the public.
