Empathy is the mother of invention: Emotion and cognition for creativity in the classroom

H. Demetriou & B. Nicholl

Empathy is not thinking & feeling for the other person, it is thinking & feeling with the other person. In the design process empathy involves discerning where the design/product has real purpose from the other’s point of view, & solving the problem in a way to reflect it.

Artists and scientists alike are focused on exploring the world through introspection, examination and experimentation. Collaboration provides multiple perspectives and methodologies leading to novel dialogue and expression. Combining scientific exploration with creative expression offers unique opportunities for forming new knowledge and creativity. To tackle the intractable challenges of our society requires a language of cross-disciplinarity interconnectedness. Relational Space provides a space for artistic expression and knowledge exchange focused on art in relation to knowledge able to promote transformational learning and a brighter future. Relational Space encourages communication and collaboration among artists, scientists, policy-makers and the community-at-large.  Our vision sees a more just and sustainable world, inspired by art and transformed through truth. 

 

The stories we tell matter.
