On 18-24 September 2016, a France/New Zealand symposium involving seven French creative professionals and organisations will take place in Auckland and Wellington. It will explore aspects of the broad rubric of creativity as a driver of, and way of coping with, increasingly rapid societal and technological changes. These first contacts, besides providing an opportunity for sharing of ideas and best practices around creative ecologies, will lay the ground for French and New Zealand organisations to engage in a deeper dialogue. Antipodes thus aims to become a yearly event providing new opportunities for French / New Zealand collaboration across creative disciplines in the future. The conversation will focus on what happens at the interface of social innovation, technological changes and creative practice. How are two emergent and integrative phenomena, the ubiquity of the digital and the rise of design as an integrative practice, redefining what creativity means and how creative people work? How do different rhythms and settings of social life (the city, academia, the economy, mainstream and sub-cultures.) interact to create new experiences, and what is the role of creative arts in this process? How does the slow pace of research foster creative innovation? Universities play a crucial role in the creative arts and industries, combining thought leadership, facilitation, collaboration, research, teaching and advocacy. This programme of collaborations will occur under the combined auspices of Colab at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT), the College of Creative Arts at Massey University (CoCA - Wellington) and the French Embassy in New Zealand. It will also include city and regional organisations that are involved with the development of creative ecologies. The programme will include: presentations, panel discussions, on-site visits and meetings with all stakeholders of these creative cities. bit.ly/Antipodes2016 Harry Silver Public Liaison Co-ordinator, Colab, Auckland University of Technology P 09 921 9566 M 027 246 5332 E [email protected] W colab.aut.ac.nz _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://ada.net.nz/ Manage your list membership (Subscribe, Change to digest, Unsubscribe) http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/ada_list
