Date: 27 June 2026 Day: Saturday Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Fee: Free Entry Location: 22 Cleopatra St, El Korba, Heliopolis Outline of the talk: Unlearning the Separation of Disciplines. We will explore the misconception that art and science are opposing forces, and how integrating them leads to more profound creative breakthroughs. Why Creatives Struggle in Traditional Systems. An examination of how left-brain dominant educational models alienate artistic minds, and how we can reclaim our learning processes by understanding neuroplasticity. Why Ignoring Science Kills Creativity. We will break down the actual neurology and psychology behind "creative blocks," proving that burnout and lack of inspiration are often scientific problems with scientific solutions (like dopamine regulation, fatigue and cognitive load). Using Physiology to Master Photography. A deep dive into how understanding human physiology—how our eyes process light, color, and movement, and how our nervous system reacts to visual stimuli—can instantly elevate your photography and visual storytelling.
