  Morgan Centre conference: Everyday Creativity


Date: 10-11 July 2018
Venue: The University of Manchester
https://www.manchester.ac.uk/morgancentre/connect/events/everyday-creativity/ 



    Summary:

Creativity is often equated with individual artistry or genius – what we 
might call creativity with a ‘big C’ – but our world is also full of 
much more humble or quotidian forms of ‘small c’ creativity which come 
alive in the ordinary and extraordinary, charismatic and mundane, dogged 
and revelatory, experiences of everyday life.  Creativity can be part of 
change, struggle and resistance, as well as histories, traditions, 
environments, stories and narratives.  Creativity can take shape in 
materialities, in memory, in aesthetics and in domestic practices and 
everyday forms of making and doing.  Creativity is part of our everyday 
lives, our practices, imaginations and social relations.

This major conference uses the theme of ‘Everyday Creativity’ in an open 
way – without insisting on any one prescriptive definition - as a 
starting point for interdisciplinary dialogue.
