Our Living Encyclopedia is part of our work in creating Living Knowledges. Here you will find community led and scientifically rooted reportings that are in constant progression as injustice is an evolving phenomena.
Living Knowledges is a realm where knowledge finds a sanctuary to flourish, evolve, and expand beyond the confines of conventional repositories. It is a dynamic space dedicated to storing and nurturing knowledge in a manner that allows it to adapt, transform, and grow with the passage of time.
This is a digital ecosystem designed to accommodate the vast array of information amassed by humanity. It goes beyond the static nature of traditional libraries and archives, embracing the concept of living ideas that continuously evolve. Thus, knowledge is envisioned as a living entity that undergoes perpetual enhancement and refinement. Every piece of information is treated as a seed, capable of germinating, branching out, and cross-pollinating with other ideas.

Growing Up in Crisis, a Conversation
A small group of practitioners and parents gathered with members from the Centric Lab team for a roundtable to discuss the definition, identification, and cause of the acute childhood crisis as well as how we respond to the crisis through the informal care of communities and the formal care of healthcare systems.
Planetary Dysregulation, Capitalism, and Healthcare
The intention of this audio project is to discuss the links between systems and imaginations rooted in supremacy, the dysregulation of planetary systems, and the poor health outcomes being experienced by peoples who are racialised and minoritised.
The History of Disease
This audio report discusses three epidemiological transitions and how our modern environments are not suited to our biological architecture. New perspectives such as the ‘ancestral susceptibility hypothesis’ suggests that there is a mismatch between the ancestral environments our bodies have adapted to (at a genetic level) over millennia.
