'Creativity through art: Creative and critical skills for personal development' was an event hosted by the SOAS Japan Research Centre on 20th March 2024.

With the rapid rise of generative AI, such as Chat-GPT, we face many new challenges. Keeping the status quo is no longer sustainable; focusing merely on problem-solving is insufficient, and to overcome the ‘threat’ of AI as well as to coexist with it, we must be evermore innovative.

Luckily, creativity remains one of the irreplaceable qualities we humans possess. Today, incorporating both creative and critical skills into business and life is key. To achieve this, arts is a vital tool - through arts, we can cultivate our sensibilities and expand our possibilities. Museums are an integral part of this endeavour. By providing the space to perceive, reflect and engage with artefacts directly, they stimulate and unlock our hidden potential.
