Creative Conversations - Tuesday 7th April with Laura Dicken

CoLab Dudley invite you to join them for the 3rd in their Creative Conversations on the Virtual High Street on Tuesday 7th April at 12.30pm.

They have invited photographer and CBC Creative AdvisorLaura Dicken to talk through her recent project in collaboration with CoLab Dudley. 

The Doers and The Curious is part portrait photography and part creative collaboration that celebrates passionate doers using creative practice in and for Dudley. The project allows us to think about ways we might inspire creativity and curiosity in our day to day lives.

Join them for a chat with Laura who will talk through the project, that was due to be launched at the end of March as our first exhibition in the new CoLab on the High Street space.

All welcome. Feel free to bring lunch!

“Creativity in terms of sense of place allows people to explore different perspectives of where they are, there are often long held narratives around sense of place and they can be very rigid, they can be inherently positive or inherently negative. Creativity invites people to explore these narratives playfully, and curiously, and robustly question whether or not they are true or true for that individual and that is important to dismantle and dissolve unhelpful narratives to create and share new ones. … 

A phrase I hear too often is ‘people like me don’t get to do things like that’, or ‘that’s not for us’ so again rigid narratives that are potentially untrue and very damaging, and damage self-confidence and self-worth.”
