“It is a profound privilege to work with artists because they open up new ways of seeing and understanding the world. As a lifelong learner driven by curiosity, I find that art fuels my imagination and challenges me to think more deeply. It invites reflection, encourages bold questions, and often offers surprising perspectives that can illuminate solutions to complex problems. Collaborating with artists is not just inspiring, it’s energising. Their creativity pushes boundaries and allows space to explore the “what ifs” that keep the world moving forward.” Jo Herbig
