How Creativity Saved Us: A Café Conversation

The one where three creatives meet on a café terrace to share how they found and use creativity to stay sane. Join us as we talk to Helen of Helen Pugh photography as she chats about her experience of her daughter's portrait that went on to be displayed all over London, digitally at Piccadilly Circus and becoming part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery.  
Highlights include:
- how glimpses of our creative selves were seen in childhood 
- reinventions over lockdown (forget pivoting...think screeching hand-break turns and quick thinking)
- the story behind the picture
- personal projects and how to nourish the creative soul
- when an idea lands and what to do with it (grab on or release it into the wild)
- and the gentle swooshing sounds of cars passing by on a rainy Edinburgh street
