Sep.11 Workshop! Six Hats For Collective Creativity
By CODAME.ORG
#CodeArtTogether with [Shaghayegh Cyrous](/artists/shaghayegh-cyrous) and [Mobina Nouri](/artists/mobina-nouri) Learn how to separate thinking into six clear functions and roles represented by symbolic "Thinking Hats." By mentally wearing and switching hats, participants can easily focus or redirect thoughts, the conversations and the solutions. Understand the strengths, weaknesses, and your affinity for the different hats to level up your problem solving skills! Shaghayegh Cyrous is an Iranian-American artist and curator currently living and working in the bay area. Her work has dealt with cross-cultural communication and translation, addressing predicaments of estrangement and distance caused by political and cultural power dynamics. She incorporates interactive time-based strategies such as socially engaged art, participatory performances, and digital technologies such as live video chats and video installations to explore the compression of time and space resulting from digital technologies, and how digital media plays this critical role in the lives of exiles and immigrants and currently the global physical distancing due to the COVID-19 situation. Shaghayegh Cyrous is one of the instructors of [Six Hats For Collective Creativity](/orgs/codame/events/six-hats-for-collective-creativity)! Mobina Nouri is a cross-disciplinary scholar and artist who is currently living and working in San Francisco. Working across a variety of media, Nouri mines her country’s tradition of storytelling. She often turns to Persia’s philosophies and mysticism to contemplate and reconsider the complexities which she is witness in the contemporary moment including the social connection, collective consciousness and creativity. Her practice reflects her personal history as a female immigrant who left Iran to live in the UK and later in the US. Mobina Nouri is one of the instructors of Six Hats For Collective Creativity!
