About Opus Independents
Opus is a not-for-profit social enterprise based in Sheffield, established in 2008. Our projects include Now Then Magazine https://nowthenmagazine.com/
Festival of Debate https://www.festivalofdebate.com/
Word Life http://wordlife.co.uk/
Distribution http://weareopus.org/projects/opus-distribution and UBI Lab Network https://www.ubilabnetwork.org/.
Opus works to contribute upstream solutions to complex system problems through strategic partnerships, engaging arts and culture, research, identifying leverage points and co-creation. In Sheffield and across the world, we work with citizens, communities, neighbourhoods, business, voluntary groups, cities, campaigns, research institutions, infrastructure organisations and governments to address the entangled ecological, social, economic, political and cultural crisis we collectively face.
We recognise that this is a long-term and systemic approach to social change. There are no easy fixes and few quick wins, so we spend our time and energy creating the space – whether that’s a platform, a network or something else – for new ideas to emerge and develop.
Opus reaches more than 150,000 people a year through live events, broadcasting and publishing in Sheffield and beyond.
