Picked by the Utrecht CreativeMornings crew, this month’s theme is all about the creativity that happens in the space of crossover. Here’s a brief sampling of a couple speakers laying it down across the globe.
- Doree Safrir, Executive Editor of Buzzfeed, speaking on her storied past and the ever-changing trajectory of journalism (Los Angeles)
- Jerzy Vetulani, professor of natural sciences, speaking on the functioning of the human brain and relations between neurobiology and various social and cultural phenomena (Krakow)
- Ben Blumenfeld, Co-Director of Designer Fund, sepaking on the crossover of design, technology and business (San Francisco)
- Raz Simone, hip-hop artist, speaking on recently “crossing over” from writing poetry to writing lyrics (Seattle)
- Gerardo Larrea y Antonio Choy Kay, stylists and creative directiing duo, speaking on their collaborative work style (Lima)
As you’ve probably heard, we’ve got Von Robinson on tap in our neck of the woods. He’s principal designer at Steelcase Health, musician at Von Robinson & His Own Universe. Over the next couple days, we’ll be checking out his work and going deeper into what exactly crossing-over means. Per usual, tickets will be available this coming Monday for the event on Thursday the 30th here.
