WatchThe Depot has produced this series of interviews with cultural icons - with the intent of creating a ongoing record and genealogy that maps NZ’s cultural history as it is being formed.

WatchSir Ken Robinson gives a TED talk on the role of the arts and creativity in education.
I thought that now is a particularly interesting point in time to consider his ideas, given the emphasis on engaging youth in the Auckland Council discussion document.

Creativity is...
We should value creativity as a form of capital. Creativity is multifaceted resourcefulness. It is applied imagination using qualities such as intelligence, inventiveness and learning along the way. It is dynamic and context-driven: what is creative in one period or situation is not necessarily so in another. Crucially, creativity is a journey not a destination, a process not a status. Every...
