Interactive Session

(EN)COMPASS is a new series hosted by the Science Gallery Network, interrogating the impact of art and science coming together. As interdisciplinary collaboration emerges as a vital linchpin in an increasingly interconnected world, the role of a Creative Producer is coming to the fore. They appear across industries and sectors, including art-science, and can broadly be identified by a common commitment to the collaborative process, relationship building, and creative problem-solving. This interactive session will explore and address common misconceptions around this emerging role, as well as unpacking how projects have the potential to evolve, grow and transform for greater impact when a Creative Producer is involved.
