Arts Education, Failure, and Moments of Oxygen with Delphine Grouès

The creative process offers a liberating counterpoint to other work, encouraging diverse thinking through varied mediums and perspectives, reframing failure as a first step toward innovation, and balancing professional and academic efforts. In this episode, Delphine Grouès discusses the role of creativity in education at Sciences Po and its influence on her career as an academic, teacher, and artist.

Delphine Grouès is the Dean of the Maison des Arts et de la Création at Sciences Po. A passionate scholar and writer, she authored a thesis titled Cris et écrits de l'opprimé, which explores Chilean popular protests, and the play La Lueur de l'ombre, which delves into the theme of collective memory and silence. Delphine's love for Chile is reflected in her work and her adventurous spirit, as she annually travels through the Andes on horseback, exploring some of the most remote and wild areas. She has also written a novel, Cordillera, inspired by her personal journeys and connection with the Chilean landscape.
