BEYOND AESTHETICS: CREATIVITY AS A SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
3 APRIL 2025, 6.30 PM TO 8 PM, 6 NIXON STREET, AUCKLAND
This panel examines creativity not as individual expression, but as a social and cultural responsibility. Drawing on perspectives from art, design, and storytelling, the discussion considers how creative practices participate in shaping public narratives, amplifying marginalised voices, and responding to social conditions. Rather than focusing on aesthetics alone, the conversation approaches creativity as a relational force operating within systems of representation, power, and collective imagination.
