Event Information
Description
First Up: Creative entrepreneurs on breaking through
A series of lunchtime talks from the creative minds at the forefront of Irish culture, science and the arts.
The unique individuals featured in the First Up series believed in an idea and did everything possible to make that idea work. They invested in their own talent and creativity in order to create a career or lifestyle suited to their vision and personal aspirations.
The speakers will tell their own stories from the beginning, how they developed their ideas and will share their plans for the future.
Emily Robyn Archer is an artist creating large scale interactive projects and installations with an environmental theme. Her work includes Solar Dancer (commissioned by ESB 2014); Dream Farm, an interactive glass house imagining a future of urban farming (Granby Park 2013) and Shoal, a participatory project to raise awareness of overfishing (Dublin City of Science 2012). She facilitates workshops empowering young people into creative action around environmental issues. This has evolved into Cre8 Sustainability - a creative agency for environmental education.
