The Centre for Material Thinking supports individual research and practice projects by staff, alumni and current students working across a broad range of creative and scholarly disciplines. We support projects that relate to the interests at the core of CMT; how new modes of representation might bring about a greater awareness of human and non-human entanglements, how material can matter in a range of socio-cultural and eco-political contexts and what is material thinking?. CMT are especially keen to support projects that are in development i.e. projects that are able to progress incrementally within this digital platform.
