The Case for Making Art When the World Is on Fire | Amie McNee | TED

Making art isn’t self-indulgent — it’s an essential, radical act of creation, says writer Amie McNee. She explores the importance of having a creative practice, whether you’re a long-time artist or an aspiring one, and shows how to move past self-doubt and start expressing yourself. If you’ve ever felt like your creativity doesn’t matter in a world with so many problems, this talk is for you. (Recorded at TEDxManchester on March 1, 2025) Join
