Expressing creativity serves as a powerful catalyst for societal change by challenging established norms and perspectives on pressing issues such as inequality, war, and the environment. All forms of creative expression have the unique ability to evoke empathy, spark critical conversations, and inspire action. They provide a lens through which we can explore the complexities of these issues, inviting individuals to engage on a deeper emotional level.Creativity opens doors to new possibilities and solutions. It not only sheds light on the realities faced by marginalized communities but also calls on society as a whole to reflect, empathise, and work towards a more equitable and sustainable future.
23 MAY, 6.30 PM TO 8 PM, 6 NIXON STREET, AUCKLAND
