Hope you are well. I decided to host a talk related to the "Connections" Exhibition at Espacio Gallery. I am showing some of my work there and I'm invigilating on Friday so this is a great opportunity to use the space to 'connect' with people. ;)
I will be talking about one of my favorite subjects: Creativity! And how to reconnect with yours.
I lost count of how many times I've heard people saying 'Oh, I wish I could (draw/paint/photograph/sculpt/fill your desired media here... haha) but I'm not CREATIVE enough!'. OH, no!!! That makes me soooo sad! Mainly because of 2 reasons: First, if you think like that, you are missing out! To create art and use your creativity to express yourself is not only a fantastic experience but literally can change your life for better. Secondly, because I have a motto that I shout out loud for anyone that can hear: 'Creativity is NOT a gift that you are born with and either have it or not'. Creativity can be practiced. It's like a muscle that gets stronger if you exercise. Also, there are a lot of techniques you can learn to do that.
I LOVE to help people rekindle their creativity. I think it's one of my life missions. Haha I will be sharing a lot of ways you can get your creative juices flowing. And I am so passionate about this subject that I am sure I can empower you to dive deeper into your creative journey. Let's call it contagious creativity! lol
And why should you be listening to me?
Well, since I started teaching in 2015 I've been consuming creativity knowledge like crazy! I've studied a bunch of techniques, did an innovation course, read a lot of stuff, researched experts in the field (from artists to neuroscientists) and tried different approaches myself. And I did that just to help the "I'm not creative enough" kind of people. I want to stop that line of thinking. Maybe I should create a new hashtag #JulianaPromisedMeICanBeMoreCreative! Do you think that # can go viral? hahahaha (Insert that emoji with the tongue out here)
Also, I work with creativity on a daily basis (with video, design, and photography) and my clients expect creative solutions for their projects. To deliver that I'm always exploring ways to develop my creativity. My job relies on that. And to blow my own trumpet, I had clients such as Panasonic, Santander, Peugeot Citroen, Honda Motors, McAfee, SeaWorld, and many others in a wide range of creative services. Apologies about the bragging moment here (I'm a nervous bragger... hahaha), but that was necessary to show you that I know about the subject! And I want you to know more about it as well.
So enough rambling. Come to the talk. My funny accent is more entertaining than a text. It's free and I'll give you sweets. How can you so 'no' to that. hahaha
