| Introduction | I'm a Social Science graduate who specialised in The Sociology of Art, Culture and Aesthetics. After investigating the relationships between Art, Business, Activism & The Environment, I became a self-taught Creativity Theorist. I explore social processes of art and community creativity which led to a three residency as a community participant-observer of an autonomous art community. These experiences deepened my understanding of creativity in relation to the Self, Groups, and organisations, as well as wider Social, Economic, and Political issues. I apply my own Social Theory of Creativity, which involves multi-faceted, and meta-conceptual strands of creative thought and behaviour, via the conceptual frameworks and social constructions of: The Creativity Party, The Creativity-Cell, and The New Model Art, which are collectively imagined as "The Creativity Manifesto". |
