📢 International only 📢

[✨2020 ZA Share Expo of Educational Alternatives and Innovations is calling for exhibitors! Help us to spread the word!]

Have you been struggling with transforming your educational experience digitally? Want to showcase your work and meet more people, but find it odd to do it online?

After several months of ideation and planning, we at ZA Share decided to transform our international expo entirely online into a gamified "Global PopUp School," to respond to the challenge posed by COVID-19 and utilize this as an opportunity to expand the trend of educational alternatives and innovations from Taiwan to the world!

We're calling for educational alternatives and innovations from all around the world to co-create a learning playground that traverses the borders of space, time, and disciplines. The PopUp School will only exist for 24 hours, just like the once and only serendipities in our lives!

Why don't you visit our Call for Exhibitors site to know more about this year's Global PopUp School?

[Edit: Maybe the word 'Fear' in this context is interchangeable with 'Vulnerability'. I hope the message I've sent across here is that in spite of uncertainty, we show up and continue to make art]

I thought I'd share with you some stuff that I've learned about Creativity and share them with you here (I usually keep it to myself in my journal). You guys have been such an encouraging and important community to me, so I thought I'd share:

Creativity and Fear

07.09.2015
Here’s the thing I’m struggling with: of all the creative projects I’ve worked on, the ones that I’m proudest of are the projects where I’ve dived right in while experiencing Fear.

So what is this notion of removing Fear when it comes to Creativity? Perhaps – and I get nervous saying this – to live a creative life, we have to learn how to embrace and live with Fear. Perhaps Fear is the green light and indicator that while you’re stepping into the unknown, you’re also stretching yourself into territories you have not been before which leads to learning and growing and improvement. Perhaps being Fearless is the opposite of that – it means being safe, staying within the comforts of our familiarity, doing the same thing over and over again because we know it will bring the same results and that there will be no surprises.

I’ve learned that Creativity and Fear should be friends, but Fear sometimes likes dragging his friend Anxiety along…and Anxiety only anchors both of them down. The trick is to learn how to manage and leave Anxiety behind so that Creativity and Fear can continue marching on into magical forests to conquer mountains and slay dragons (I love Neil Gaiman btw. Hah!).

I also read the following by Elizabeth Gilbert, which totally resonated with me:

“I have come to believe that Creativity and Fear are in fact conjoined twins; they share all the same major organs, and they cannot be separated without killing them both. … They have to learn how to coexist, in other words, and you must learn to accept them both, if you want to invent things.”

Awesome. So let’s be friends, Fear! You're still a little crazy to me and I’ll still be looking at you suspiciously from the corner of my eyes from time to time, but here’s me, extending my arms, hoping that we’ll be able to be friends for life.

(If you've read till the end...kudos!! Thank you for your patience :P I'll be posting thoughts like this on creativity/innovation on my blog too, at http://redhongyi.com/blog. I just launched it, and blogging feels very scary and I feel super vulnerable, but I'm learning to show up a bit more, day by day. Here we go!)
