THE Creative process exhibition

The Creative Process Exhibition is a travelling exhibition of interviews and portraits of writers and creative thinkers from around the world augmented by projection elements and short films.  The exhibition is the creation of Mia Funk, an artist based in Paris. Writers include Joyce Carol Oates, Hilary Mantel, George Saunders, Paul Auster, Neil Gaiman, Tobias Wolff, Richard Ford, Junot Díaz, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and others. Participating creative thinkers include Noam Chomsky, Yuval Noah Harari, Michael Pollan, Alison Gopnik, Yuval Sharon, Seán Curran, Miki Kratsman, Dario Maestripieri, Ellen Ullman, and a host of others.

After launching at the Sorbonne, The Creative Process is being exhibited at leading universities and selected literary museums during their important literary/humanities festivals and conferences, including Harvard's LITFest, KU Leuven's European Conference for the Humanties, University of Milan's BookCity, among others.

The project collaborates on a number of curriculum integration initiatives, inner city afterschool writing clubs, and special 4th-year courses combining film and literature with a view to inspiring imaginative inquiry and encouraging future generations of artists.

 Some of the 40 participating universities: Sorbonne, UC Berkeley, MIT, Columbia, Oxford, Princeton, University of Edinburgh, University of Milan, University of Toronto, University of Salamanca, Trinity College Dublin, Duke University,  University of Warsaw, University of Melbourne, Łódź Film School, American University of Paris, University of Leuven, Antioch College, Tel Aviv University, among others.

Erin Byrne is the Travel Writing and Photography curator. Her exhibit features writing excerpts and photographs that span the globe by writers and photographers including Phil Cousineau, Jeff Greenwald, Marcia DeSanctis, Robert Holmes, Catherine Karnow, Omar Chennafi, and others.
