Creatives thrive in cities, and cities move, change, and grow with the creative minds they host. Urban landscapes are shaped by creative practices rooted in local communities, which can lead to transformative urban agendas with increasing attention to sustainability and inclusion. This happens because of people, collaboration, and experimentation, at the individual and institutional levels, often across borders.

We have the book of our life and we have to create a different rhythm on this book”.Joël Andrianomearisoa talks about the power of emotions and the plurality of curiosity to nurture his creativity, moving reflections from his sources of inspiration to his role as an artist in society, and much more.

"I define myself as a designer… It's not necessarily only a problem to solve, but really figuring out frameworks and rules for myself, which some artists do as well, especially in procedural art - said Giorgia Lupi explaining the relation between her big data design and the creative artistic process.This episode moves from Giorgia Lupi's creative concept in her authorial role for our Collection notebook to reflections about the connections between data design, creativity, and social impact.
"It's really important for everybody to become a bit more data literate in a way… Really always trying to re-connect numbers to what they stand for - which are our life - it might lead to more impact, more social changes and really even just more aware of how we should use this, apparently cold, material called data."

"It's about creating spaces of thought, spaces of reflection, spaces of deliberation, spaces in which we can disagree, in which you can dismantle things, in which you can build things, spaces in which we can commune, in which we can just look at each other, listen to each other and acknowledge each other's presence" said Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, independent curator, author, and biotechnologist, founder and artistic director – among many cultural institutions - of SAVVY Contemporary, an independent project space in Berlin that situates itself on the threshold between concepts of the West and non-West, to understand and deconstruct them.

"I am alone in a box of stone. When all is said and done. As the wind blows to the east from the west. Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest… It wasn’t easy getting used to this
I used to scream. It’s not true, that it’s only when the door is locked that nobody enters".
This episode has been inspired by the lyrics of the song "Cornerstone" by Benjamin Sainte-Clémentine, English artist, poet, vocalist, composer - who invented his own dramatic and avant-guard musical dimention - here in conversation with Simon Njami, writer, art critic and, above all, our AtWork Educational Program advisor.

In times of deep crisis, we often look at South Africa as a model for resilience, considering how much of it the country proved to have through its history. “What happened in South Africa is that we are constantly dealing with a vanishing present, and we use history to eradicate that haziness, but history cannot survive without memory. One of the advantages of today is that we have social media which can hold people’s memories and archives” says Lwando Xaso, one of South Africa’s leading constitutional lawyers, writer and human rights activist.

This episode is about the perception of words, and their light and shadows,
we’ll talk about the challenge to rediscover their deeper meaning, their true light within. Words lose their meaning when deprived of their shadows, and become mere slogans.
Words are important because they are the building blocks of our thoughts, and now - during this pandemic - more than before, new words such as confinement or mask have become very common and familiar to everyone. Confinement seems to be THE word of the moment, but confinement could be something different than punishment. And the masks we need to wear could become a communication tool, an invitation to stay behind them and discover more...
KEYWORDS: Confinement – Mask – The Other.
