What if we had conversations without even saying a word, and instead used imagery and color alone? Ginger Huebner is a visual translator who guides people in building bridges between their inner most world - their subconscious - their emotions - to something visual and evident in their outer world. She shares about how her Create + Connect process leads people to have deep and meaningful conversations beyond words; offering new ways to see themselves, others and the world. Ginger is the founding director of Roots + Wings School of Art and Design in Asheville, where innovative art and design education programs are offered for all ages across the community. Her Create + Connect Circles and Portrait Workshops offer opportunities to transform, connect, re-build, and share stories in communities across the globe. She also serves as Visual Art Advisor to PBS for their Online Learning platform, Arts Curriculum, and the ‘Pinkalicious’ series. With foundations from both a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters in Teaching Visual Art, she weaves a unique perspective into all that she does… as an artist, educator, facilitator and collaborator. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
