Myth-Busting the Creative Life

Myth-Busting the Creative Life

Think artists are always inspired, eternally broke, or chaotic dreamers? Think again!

Join Madhumati Manda, an active studio artist at Narture, for a lively TED-style talk that debunks the biggest myths about the creative life. With humour, personal stories, and insights backed by science and research, Madhumati reveals the discipline, collaboration, and joy behind creativity – showing it’s not just for artists, but for everyone. Whether you’re a painter, a problem-solver, or just curious, this talk will inspire you to rethink creativity and spark your own. Don’t miss this fun, eye-opening event!
