About the theme:

Our theme for June is PUNK.

It was chosen by our Bologna in Italy and illustrated by Cristina Portolano, and is presented by our global partner Adobe.

🎸The description for this month’s theme is written in the style of lyrics to a punk rock song. If you know a band that wants to put them to music, we’ll feature their cover song of our punk rock anthem on the CreativeMornings blog and social. 🎵

Does the system feel broken Staring at our screens Not hearing the screams

Wake up wake up wake up

We’re not meant to go it alone Find your people lift them up Do what you can with what you got

Wake up wake up wake up

Your creativity can save you What you gonna make What you gonna change

Wake up wake up wake up
