A ciência da criatividade: o que isso significa para você e sua comunidade | Kristin Armstrong | TEDxMacatawa

Pesquisas em neuroestética e saúde pública sugerem que criar e vivenciar arte pode alterar respostas fisiológicas, promover conexão por meio da sincronia e fortalecer a resiliência ao longo da vida. Kristin Armstrong, líder nas áreas de artes e organizações sem fins lucrativos, apresenta essas ideias em uma palestra do TEDxMacatawa. Ela também discute o que isso pode significar para escolas, instituições artísticas e a rotina pessoal.

• A arte como necessidade para a saúde
• Pesquisas em neuroestética e saúde pública
• Conexão social por meio de experiências compartilhadas

What if the arts are a health necessity, not a luxury? Drawing on research in neuroaesthetics and public health, Kristin Armstrong shows how making and experiencing art changes our physiology, connects us through synchrony, and builds resilience across our lifespan. She also explores what that should mean for schools, arts organizations, and our own calendars. Kristin Armstrong is an Arts and Nonprofit leader, deeply interested in creating connections and building community. She has been Executive Director at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts (West Michigan’s multidisciplinary Art Center) for 21 years and has had the privilege of working alongside artists of all genres and stripes, actors, performers, designers, educators, plus dreamers and party-throwers! Kristin lives in Holland and loves walking trails or the lakeshore, digging into new books and movies, and generally learning new things and meeting new people! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
