Took the blocks to Pain in the Arts today, and we talked a little bit about getting in touch with the inner artist-child. Was thinking about how it often seems like creativity is not that important. I’d say that opportunities to be creative are quite important to the Credo community. If you can’t be creative, or imaginative, that basically means that you can’t change the world around you. It means that you can’t change your circumstances. Paulo Freire said that someone who doesn’t realise this is dehumanised. Doing art together in Credo can remind people that they have the power to mould the materials of the world around them.
