Margaret Heffernan talks to Irenosen Okojie

Eminent philosopher Margaret Heffernan leads an agenda-setting discussion about the importance of creativity, and makes a compelling and urgent case for the integration of art into all aspects of life. Heffernan, whose TED talks have been seen by more than 15 million people, looks at what we can learn from the way artists approach life in her book Embracing Uncertainty.

Heffernan is a frequent broadcaster on BBC Radio 4, and is Professor of Practice at the University of Bath. In this event, she talks to author Irenosen Okojie about why, instead of waiting for the future, we should run towards it like artists do, and how art can help us with the stresses and anxieties of the modern world.
