December 2021: CreativeMornings Global Theme is INVISIBLE!

The invisible encompasses everything that does not fall within the hegemony of visibility. An entire world we cannot see exists but doesn’t show itself. From the electromagnetism coursing around us, to the flow of capital across borders, to the adaptive strategies of wildlife. How might we become aware of the things that have receded from sight, suddenly coming into focus with startling clarity?

Our Rome chapter chose this month’s exploration of Invisible and Cristina Spanó illustrated the theme.

Join us on December 17th online for a thought-provoking presentation by speaker ASHLEIGH LODGE on “Accessible creativity: Can you see me?”
