Artists Talks – Round table on Creativity. Wednesday 17th of April, from 6.30

We Are CAN present ‘Artists Talks – Round table on Creativity’

“Creativity is at the base of innovation. Being original, developing new concepts, providing new experiences: all spring out of our ability to be and remain creative. 

“But how does one gets inspiration? How do we avoid blocking or hitting a creative standstill?

“Collaborating, discussing our ideas with others, mind-storming – are these solutions to increase our own creativity? What is the role of collaboration in creativity? And are we more or less creative when we expose ourselves to other points of view and experiences?

“Come and discuss these and other ideas on creativity at CAN’s artists talk, on the 17th of April. Starting out from a round table discussion with 7 artists and creatives, we want you to join in the conversation and share your own thoughts and ideas on the subject.”
