Season one wraps!
It's a wrap on season one of our new podcast, Processing.... Catch up on all the episodes below!
What are your assumptions about creativity? Processing... questions, explodes, subverts, and in some cases confirms what you think you already know about creativity and the University of Pittsburgh community. Through one-on-one conversation, Processing... explores the individual experience with creativity, with a focus on processes rather than products. Join us every week for inspiration, community, and a connection to your own creative process.
In season one, our guests – Pitt students, faculty, and staff – explore the questions of how creativity found them and how it continues to evolve in and inform their lives. From puppetry to poetry, from unconventional transitions to the perils of barbecuing your materials, our guests take you into their personal making journeys.
