Second Binational Creativity Seminar

Abstract

The text reflects on the nature of the creative act, emphasizing that creativity does not arise spontaneously but rather requires action, effort, and perseverance. The author invites readers to experiment, observe, imagine, and combine seemingly incompatible elements as part of the creative process. Creativity, the text suggests, is not about waiting for a sudden “spark” of inspiration, but about engaging in constant work—writing, erasing, and trying again. This practice is understood as a continuous exercise of life and awareness, in which each day offers new possibilities to create and transform reality. The author cites Hernando Gómez, who defines creativity as an “eternal task,” yet brief in its historical realization, since human time is finite.
