How to combine creativity with different disciplines and build transdisciplinary teams with artist / psychologist Leigh Jerome Ph.D.

My guest for this episode is Leigh Jerome Ph.D., clinical psychologist, artist, and founder of the Relational Space art gallery in New York. With this seemingly disparate skillset, cross disciplinarity seems to be at the centre of almost everything Leigh pursues. It’s something that is so important to the creative process, whether we’re endeavouring to be cross disciplinary in our own activities or seeking to build cross disciplinary teams for increased creative opportunities. Leigh constantly does both. As well as regularly bringing artists and scientists together to create new works for her gallery, she was previously CEO of The Institute for Triple Helix Innovation, encouraging interactions between academia, industry and government to foster economic and social development. We discussed how cross disciplinarity is the future for creatives in building a just and sustainable world, and how that world, right down to even the seasons can in turn impact our creativity.
