SEMI PERMANENT AOTEAROA 2023 ——
Semi Permanent
I recently had the privilege of immersing myself in the ambiance of Semi Permanent Aotearoa 2024, and its impact on my creative journey has been truly transformative.
After launching Rare Studio less than a month ago, my foray into the world of graphic design has been a remarkable adventure fuelled by the incredible support of both familiar faces and newfound connections. Stepping into Semi Permanent was not just attending a festival; it was a pivotal moment in my ongoing journey for growth and connection within the dynamic realm of creativity.
From the festival's commencement to its conclusion, Wellington metamorphosed into a captivating hub. The diverse range of keynote talks, panel discussions, workshops, and masterclasses offered a smorgasbord for the creative mind, encompassing various disciplines such as graphic and product design, game and motion design, fashion, illustration, publishing, visual art, digital and brand strategy, and business innovation.
The theme of 'Reformation' served as a guiding beacon throughout the event, challenging participants to reconsider, reimagine, and reshape the creative landscape. As I navigated through a sea of ideas and connected with fellow creatives, the impact on my creative perspective was profound. The festival impelled me to stretch my boundaries, urging me to explore new horizons and reconsider the possibilities within my work. The inspiration gathered during those three days has kindled a renewed sense of purpose and direction for Rare Studio.
Additionally, the connections made at Semi Permanent have become invaluable. Engaging with like-minded individuals, sharing experiences, and learning from others have added depth to my creative journey. The festival not only provided insight into the current state of the creative industry but also fostered a sense of community and collaboration that extends beyond its duration.
To those who have been part of my journey and to the vibrant creative community at Semi Permanent Aotearoa 2024, thank you for being the driving force behind this enriching experience. As I carry the lessons and inspiration forward, I'm eager to apply these newfound perspectives to elevate Rare Studio to new heights. Here's to embracing transformation, embracing change, and unlocking the boundless potential within our creative endeavours!
