Rethinking the Politics of Creativity: Posthumanism, Indigeneity, and Creativity Beyond the Western Anthropocene

Danah Henriksen et al.

Summary: With the emergence of Western posthuman understandings, new materialism, artificial intelligence (AI), and the growing acknowledgment of Indigenous epistemologies, there is a need for ongoing rethinking of existing assumptions and meanings about creativity. Creativity is no longer seen as exclusively human activity, but as something that can emerge beyond human spaces, such as through digitality, AI, or sources in the natural world. This challenges traditional Euro-Western understandings of creativity and opens up new possibilities for practice, research, and conceptualization beyond Western perspectives.
