Bonito Living

In the story of art, at least western art, manifestos are a way to consolidate key principles for the development of a movement, an idea or a project. From Joshua Reynolds musings on art in the Eighteenth century, to the Dada manifesto and the Guerrilla Girls, artists feel compelled to explain or to present their ideas in a didactic manner in these “manifestos” (See Royal Academy). Likewise, the invitation of Academic Creator, Norman Jackson, to build up a Creativity in Higher Education is a welcome opportunity to initiate a discussion about one of my favorite, if not the core of my whole practice. Using the practice of the oracle collage, these are the elements of my Wo(man)ifesto for creativity in higher education
