Oppression and Creativity | Lowkey, Andrew Motion, Joanna Kavenna
Watch the debate in full at https://iai.tv/video/the-key-to-creativity?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=description
Do we need rules and constraints to fuel our creativity or should ever greater freedom be our continuing goal?
Freedom is often seen as the vital oxygen of creativity. Yet Shakespeare worked within a framework of censorship, Don Quixote was written from prison, and Leonardo argued that art “lives on constraint and dies of freedom”. Can oppression help produce masterpieces, or do the free always write the greatest poetry?
Lowkey, a.k.a. Kareem Dennis, is a British-Iraqi hip hop artist and activist. He has appeared at the BBC Electric Proms, Glastonbury, and Oxegen.
Joanna Kavenna is the Winner of the Orange First Novel prize. Kavenna’s works includes A Field Guide to Reality, The Ice Museum and Inglorious. She is a member of the IAI Advisory Board.
Andrew Motion is Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins. Motion was the UK Poet Laureate for 10 years and is the author of Coming Home, and Philip Larkin: A Writer's Life.
