Creative Directions 2026

'UNCHARTED CREATIVITY'

Wednesday 19 & Saturday 22 August 2026

Location

Welcome to Creative Directions for 2026! - This year we are exploring the theme of UNCHARTED CREATIVITY, navigating the world of media and technology into a new era. We are meeting the creatives who are building communities and telling authentic stories; exploring careers and money; and finding inspiration in unusual spaces. We invite you to set your eyes on the horizon and rethink media and culture.

Run by the School of Media, Film and Journalism, Creative Directions is an annual festival of ideas and industry know-how exploring critical issues shaping the contemporary media, cultural and communications industries.
