Networking
Rye Here Rye Now May
Organised by Rye Here Rye Now
Calling all graphic designers, illustrators, digital designers, product designers, textile designers, photographers, filmmakers, and other creatives!
What: Join us online for a casual meet-up to support our current and new creative community members. Discuss design, WFH, exchange ideas or current briefs, and meet people to collaborate with all from the safety of your own home. There will even be a chance for you to take the floor and share your project with the entire group.
This month we will have three speakers talking about technology and online creative collaborations.
Ana Bender is a multidisciplinary Strategic Designer specialised in Content, a Facilitator and Designer by heart. Content Strategy and facilitation has been part of her work since the early stages of her career, even when she couldn't name it. Ana is also the Community Manager of Rye Here Rye Now.
She will discuss online collaboration challenges and how digital platforms promise to ease the new challenges we face since the pandemic started.
Gustavo Nogueira de Menezes is an artist, researcher and activist with 15 years of experience. He has been questioning our relationship with time as individuals and as a society. Founder of Torus Time Lab and a member of Time Machine Organization in Europe. Brazilian from the Amazon Rainforest region, living in Amsterdam since 2017. His current work includes an international and transdisciplinary community on the quest to be in sync with new temporalities for our planet.
He will share how changing our relationship with time can lead to new habits of existence for the next era – and an exciting tool for doing that.
Anat Shabi is a pharmacist turned facilitator and business coach. She specialises in designing innovative and creative workshops for healthcare teams, enabling them to identify and maximise their individual and collective strengths.
