Why ‘creative borrowing’ should be encouraged.
Many of us have memories of ‘creatively borrowing’ ideas from our favourite books, television shows, movies or comics. Many of us also have feelings of shame around our copying being exposed - by a teacher, a parent, or a peer. Copying gets a bad rap (sometimes for a good reason...we’re definitely not saying you should copy something and pretend it’s your own original work)!
Story Cups and Bites
Through our Story Cups & Bites project, we convinced eight local cafes to join us in amplifying the creative voices of the young writers at 100 Story Building. For the duration of the festival, the cafes will be adding their stories into your order via coffee cups, zines and photo frames.
