The global multimedia and multidisciplinary collective examines creativity's definition, through the minds of some of the world's leading cultural figures
Created by Liberatum (the people behind a global curriculum of multi-disciplinary festivals, original programming and creative collaborations), presented by illy (the coffee-makers whose longstanding art world ties are documented in our W*176 issue) and directed by Liberatum founder Pablo Ganguli and polymath Tomas Auksas, the film explores both creativity's definition and the catalysts that inspire it, through the minds of some of the world's leading cultural figures.
