The Creative Resistance: How to Use the Arts for Transformation talk for the Obama Foundation Leadership Network

I am happy to be invited by the Education Community of Practice of the Obama Foundation to give a talk for their Expert Workshop series to Obama Foundation alumni on Wednesday, July 12th. I’ll be speaking about how the arts can be a catalyst for various causes, elaborating on creative strategies, fundraising, and human psychology. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to my fellow leaders’ amazing work.

About the talk:

How can the arts contribute to systems change? In this talk and workshop, we delve into creative strategies for organisations to utilise the arts to benefit their causes, from sensory projects to highlight climate issues to workshops to promote education, from activities to scale audience engagement to games that drive expert conversations. How can investing in our imagination become a catalyst for societal transformation? A collective workshop on using these strategies will follow the talk.
