Jonathan Atkinson's CV–

Since completing a degree in Environmental Biology my career has crossed boundaries and disciplines. I worked at two research co-ops, Ethical Consumer and Corporate Watch. In 2002, I co-founded UHC Collective, a multidisciplinary project working to effect social change through the creation of art, design and research. In 2006, I initiated OpenCity, an artist-led project examining the rise of the neo-liberal city, acting as lead researcher. Since 2007 I have worked as a freelance artist, researcher and developer of new innovative projects. My interests lie at the point where urban development, art and design, community and politics meet. Throughout my career I have explored the potential for co-operative and collective action to create change.
