Academic Framework

The Cultural Wisdom Lab

The Cultural Wisdom Lab at the Chitkara School of Liberal Arts is a scholastic space for academic discourses on cultural knowledge and collaborative research. The Cultural Wisdom Lab, not limited to merely holding or organising events, has been envisioned as an academic laboratory of cultural wisdom. Here collaborative projects are visualised, articulated and debated, and given a definitive shape in the form of voice or video, graphics or graffiti, blogs or other forms of writing, clay or crayons. The aim of the Cultural Wisdom Lab is to whet the curiosity of the students, regardless of their level, gender and geographies, and widen their horizons. This is the home of our compulsory core program, the Intrepid Explorer, and an arena of artistic activity, both creative and performative.
