Unjudged®: Can Creativity Be Trained? Lessons from a Broken Cassette

Our Unjudged® events create opportunities to hear stories from the lives of women.  You, the listener, will be invited to listen deeply and question respectfully.  And when you do, you gift the storyteller the opportunity to have their story truly heard.    

By having the courage to step into these stories, truly listen and appreciate, we seek to broaden our understanding of the human experience.  Together, we will build our awareness, challenge our stereotypes and prejudices, and learn to step into the shoes of others.  

Unjudged®: Can Creativity Be Trained? Lessons from a Broken Cassette

It’s 1998. AMC is sitting at a loom; a great wooden contraption that turns threads into fabric. Headphones on, lost in the sounds of the 90s, courtesy of a knock-off Walkman and a very carefully curated mix-tape. (For anyone under 35: a mix-tape is basically a Spotify playlist trapped in a plastic box. One that occasionally got eaten. And that you rewound with a pencil.) Then — SNAP! That small, moment turned out to matter more than expected. In this Unjudged session, AMC draws on her work as a facilitator, her growing fascination with the science of how our brains work when we create, and a life spent with textiles, to explore what creativity means to her, and what happens when she approaches it less like a gift and more like a practice. This is a talk originally developed for SXSW, now brought to a more intimate room. Join AMC to think differently about creativity.  Come with your questions.
