Inspiring Minds: Good Weird with Amy Kean, 18th September, Glasgow
Join us for the second in our Inspiring Minds series on Wednesday 18 September!
Amy Kean - bestselling author, poet, university lecturer and award-winning advertising strategist - has a hypothesis. She believes that if we all allowed ourselves to be the weird we naturally are, the happier and more creative we’d all be.
This session will bring out the weirdest version of people, with wonderful results. It includes:
- The morality of normality
- The science of weirdness
- The power of masking
- Inspiration from Outsider Art
- Embracing embarrassment
The event will take place from 9.30am - 12.30pm at the Edrington offices in Glasgow.
