A discussion about how arts workers (or other creatives), their practices, content and ideas impact collaborations. How do they enrich, challenge, and affect the projects and teams they work with?

Taking prompts and provocations from Near and Far, an e-book about the arts as a transversal process within interdisciplinary collaboration, author Meredith Lewis will present her research in this area and lead a conversation about how creative people or methodologies could benefit or challenge collaborative teams.

How do you find a common language between people from different disciplines?

How do you build trust among collaborators?

What exactly can art and design bring to the collaborative process?
