Creative Humanities Matters showcases a range of initiatives including collaborations with the library, museums and gallery sectors, interdisciplinary and creative industry-focused projects, and creative outputs that respond to complex social and cultural issues. The event includes keynote addresses from leading experts, panel discussions, workshops, a book launch and film screening.
