CI Studio 19: Exploring Creative Cred for the Creative Industries

Creative Informatics

Wouldn't it be great if you could source tools, materials and spaces in a way that is good for the planet and for your creative practice?

Inspace, The University Of Edinburgh

The CREATIVE CRED is a complementary currency that incentivises a Circular Economy approach in the creative industries in Scotland. This CI Studio is for creative practitioners that would like to find out how the Creative Cred could benefit their practice by keeping materials at their highest value, informing and incentivising a Circular Economy approach, shortening supply chains, saving cash, diverting waste from landfill and creating new networks. Many people in the creative industries already adopt a Circular Economy approach – they are mindful about designing out or not creating waste; they share materials, spaces, skills and knowledge with other makers; and they try to minimise the environmental impact of their practice. But these things can cost time and money, and are rarely rewarded.What if these actions, which are great for the planet, could also be good for your practice and your business? What if they could stimulate exchanges and connections with others in the creative industries? This is where the Creative Cred comes in – for every circular action taken, Creative Cred is earned. This credit can then be exchanged with others in the creative industries for excess materials, skills, spaces or products.Join us for this in person session to find out how this new currency could help keep local businesses afloat even in times of financial hardship, and have a go at creating your own Creative Cred avatar.Creative Cred is a Creative Informatics Creative Horizon Project run by Ostrero, Dr Juli Huang at Edinburgh University and Dr Tom Flint at Edinburgh Napier University. If you would like to find out more about Creative Cred please contact Mary Michel, Director of Ostrero, at mary@ostrero.com.The Creative Cred exhibition will run at Inspace from Wednesday 11th to Saturday 14th May from 11am to 5pm every day, so you can have a look around before or after this event.
