    Culture and Creativity - Challenging Assumptions About Creativity in the East

    "The West invents, the East copies" - in fashion, art or consumer goods, how often have you heard some variant of this assertion? This month we're challenging this notion and view that innovation and progress are found primarily in the West. We're looking at how creativity from the East is received by a Western audience, and look at examples of cultural exchange.  Disclaimer: I’m aware the editing is not very smooth on this episode and the sound quality a bit questionable. I’m looking into ways to improve this for the next one.
