Creativity in the Immersive Age: Exploring New Values | Suhair Khan | TEDxGoodenoughCollege

Suhair Khan's talk discusses creativity in the immersive age following 4 rules: (1) gardening, (2) extending your mind, (3) trust in the collective and (4) put your flags down and stake a claim. Based in London, Suhair is a technology entrepreneur and creative leader. She is the founder of Open/Ended Design, a platform for impact-driven work across design, culture and tech.

In over a decade at Google, Suhair worked with the world’s leading technologists and engineers to build new narratives for connection, impact, and scale. She worked with and led entrepreneurial teams - launching new tech products, new initiatives in emerging markets, and a new platform for environmental sustainability. As lead of Google Arts & Culture UK and global projects, she led initiatives which merged cutting edge technology with arts, culture, and design.

She is chair of the board of trustees of world-renowned dance choreographer, Studio Wayne McGregor, and advisor to a number of major cultural organisations globally, including Sadler's Wells, the Design Museum, London Design Biennale and the UK’s Museum of the Year Prize.

Powerful insight from one of the most inspirational women in arts and culture. Working towards transdisciplinarity and a way of designing for the pluriverse, values are the foremost important asset for change in the creative industries. Ethics enables the ability to connect as well as to imagine new worlds. Thank you Suhair.

I agree with the expansion of the meta-verse.
Being an artist I think it's really important to explore new values in today's time. Thank you for this!

Such an inspiring space and so well presented! Really gets you excited to think about how technology can be integrated in every discipline, not just careers in an explicitly creative category 🙌🏼✨

I see 153 views so far....and no comments!! I am not here to insult Suhair, as she seems driven and I admire her for her ability to even present herself on this forum. But I disconnected early on in her talk, because I could not relate to anything she said. I tried to find a focal point of her talk, but did not succeed. Perhaps I tried too hard to weave her insights into my own life but I confess that I simply was unable to.
