Social Studies Labs presents live social experiment events!
We create unique live experiences like a 3-night light festival for the streets of Calgary. Plus more intimate events like a nostalgic record listening party or “how-to” solve your social problem using the DnD game mechanics with your own Dungeon Master.
We design spaces to explore, experiment, ask questions, take risks, have fun and impact change.
We create explorative human experiences. We’re here to incite delight!
Social Studies Lab helps others explore, test & build bold new ideas, delivering impactful social experiences.
