Creative Places + Spaces: Why Collaborate?

In October 2009 delegates from across Canada and beyond joined Artscape in Toronto for our third Creative Places + Spaces Conference The Collaborative City. In a packed two-day program inspirational keynote speakers and ground breaking projects made the case for the power of collaboration to solve complex multi dimensional challenges and to fuel innovation.

Over the next 5 months The Campaign of Ideas will bring you a regular diet of conference highlights focusing on the major themes of the conference and some of the tools for collaboration that were presented.

To kick off The Campaign of Ideas, Artscape commissioned Storyboard Ink to develop a three episode film which reflects on the overarching conference themes and the lessons learned at the conference. The first episode is released today, entitled Why Collaborate? and featuring graphic recordings and short video clips from Sir Ken Robinson, Richard Florida, David Buckland, Tim Jones and Simon Brault. Stay tuned for future episodes to be released on a semi-monthly basis.

Presented by Artscape in collaboration with MaRS Discovery District, Martin Prosperity Institute and the City of Toronto: Economic Development, Culture & Tourism.

Think. Create. Collaborate.

why focus on their color or sex? what are they saying? I think what they are saying transcends race or gender, so lets applaud that. being hung up on gender and race is another kind of blindness -all those speakers are human, and they were all on target with what they were saying. how would you feel about being reduced to the color of your skin? multiculturalism is ultimately about seeing people for what they are, what they say and do, not about skin deep divisions and classifications.

Where the hell are the voices of women and minorites, in this excerpt which seems to represent the point of view of guest spekers, you only hear the voices of white occidental males, in a country where over 40% of its population is multicultural, and yes women. How can one begin to trust such a vision. It looks like a ppt. pr campaign.
