USING CREATIVITY AS A FORM OF ACTIVISM
23 MAY, 6.30 PM TO 8 PM, 6 NIXON STREET, AUCKLAND
This discussion considers creativity as a form of social and political engagement. Through practices spanning art, music, writing, and movement, the panel reflects on how creative work responds to conditions such as inequality, conflict, and environmental crisis. The conversation frames creativity as a means of shaping perception, cultivating empathy, and intervening in dominant narratives within public life.
