Russian Creativity Week by Interni Magazine

From 7 to 13 September 2020 - An event across the regions and culminating in a 3 day expo in Moscow’s Gorky Park

As the organizers explain, Russian Creativity Week sets out to showcase “the power of creativity that allows us to solve the most complex problems of our time, and achieve positive changes in people's lives.”

A new platform aimed at realizing the economic potential of Russia’s creative industries has its Moscow launch this Friday (September 11) in Gorky Park. Aligning with the UN’s International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development, Russian Creativity Week will host over 500 events, including a business forum, lectures, masterclasses, installations and performances.

One of the main events will be the business forum, where representatives of government, business and the creative community will discuss the development of the creative economy, from creating galleries and developing games to the phenomenon of new media.

Speakers during the week will include: director Timur Bekmambetov; Nobel Prize laureate in physics, Konstantin Novoselov; Elena Bunina (Yandex); Arsen Tomsky (InDriver); directors of MY.GAMES, Soyuzmultfilm; directors of the Pushkin Museum, State Tretyakov Gallery and Garage Museum of Contemporary Art; Zhang Xiaochen (FinTech4Good); Per Pedersen (Gray Group), Lucas Krepaz (Salzburg Festival); and composer Martin O’Donnell.

Among the first partners is Italian Interni Designer’s Week Milano, led by Gilda Bojardi, who says “We are excited to be partnering with Russian Creativity Week. Today there is a shared objective: to transform a major global crisis into an opportunity to do more, better than before. Creativity is the glue that can connect us, sustainably, around the world.”
