Expressive Visions of Creativity

The Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Art (ICMA) at the George Enescu National University of Arts, Iași (UNAGE Iași), organised, on 30 May 2024, at the ICMA Conference Hall in the House of Museums, the conference entitled Expressive Visions of Creativity.

The conference aimed to create an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary framework, bringing together fields such as the visual arts, music, theatre, choreography, nutrition, and sport, as well as specialists, teaching staff, school pupils, and university students in a dialogue on the harmony between mind and body. In this context, the role of adopting a balanced lifestyle, based on caring for the mind, soul, and body, was highlighted in relation to personal development, the assessment of quality of life, and the fostering of creativity. In a society marked by technological, economic, social, and cultural challenges, such interdisciplinary approaches foster creativity, which is essential to the processes of education and artistic creation.

The conference lectures were delivered by:

  • Associate Professor Vasilica Bălăiță
