On September 14, at Unity Books in Wellington, I got to talk with Jo Randerson and Sarah Maxey about Secret Art Powers: How Creative Thinking Can Achieve Radical Change (Barbarian Productions, 2025) Jo wrote this book and Sarah designed the book and facilitated the creation of the illustrations that are throughout the book. In this book Jo shares some of their Secret Art Powers—six ways that thinking like an artist can increase personal resilience, unleash innovation, dissolve unhealthy power relationships and help us describe and navigate the complex and changing world of the twenty-first century, and to sing while we do it. I first came across this work a few years ago when Jo was presenting lectures on each of the Secret Art Powers. These were incredibly exciting events and it is so great to see the book reflect the wonder and radical thinking that the lectures held. Action: Prisoner Correspondence Network Holiday Card Drive!
