Running from 2015 to 2020, this lab focused on tackling racism in Edmonton. Shift Lab 2.0 focussed more specifically on creating interactive processes that motivate the ‘sleepy middle’ to change racist behaviours. Uniquely, Shift Lab developed what they called a ‘triple helix approach’, weaving together design thinking, systems thinking, and Indigenous epistemologies. The lab produced several prototypes, some of which are scaling across Canada.
