Overview

The Church, the communications agency who brought Semi-Permanent to New Zealand, presents We Can Create, a symposium for creative industry folk.

Running Friday 26 and Saturday 27 August, the event will see 11 speakers take the stage to present their inspirations, perspectives and creative practices.  The speakers include:

Although kiwi director Taika Waititi has had to pull out due to a delayed filming schedule, the event promises to delight lovers of graphics, fashion, animation, illustration, motion graphics, typography, sound design, live audio-visual art, interactive and experiential marketing, fine art, music, product design and more.

With satellite events and exhibitions to accompany the line-up, the inaugural conference looks set to become an annual event.
