Making Play, Work.
St Bride Foundation, 6.30pm complimentary drinks for 7pm start.
——————
In this talk, Chris Clarke; Editorial Creative Director at The Guardian — explores the transformative power of play in creative work, leadership, and culture. Drawing from over 15 years at the heart of news design and storytelling, Chris weaves together personal projects, editorial campaigns, and global design challenges to show how curiosity, experimentation, and silliness aren’t distractions from serious work; but the beating heart of it.
Chris reveals how embracing play as a strategy has helped drive purpose-driven design at one of the world’s most trusted news brands. It's about purposeful play: building space for curiosity, risk, and experimentation inside complex systems and serious institutions. Because play isn’t childish. It’s radical. And in a world being flattened by algorithms and conformity, it might just be your biggest advantage. This is a talk for anyone trying to lead with creativity, protect originality under pressure, or simply remember why they started doing this in the first place.

I can attest to this: when visiting museums, you absolutely must purchase an guided tour. This morning I visited the British Museum. Luckily, I wisely chose the more expensive premium guided tour. Diana&#39;s explanation was lively, engaging, and undeniably professional. She not only told you what you saw but also provided an accessible explanation of the history behind the exhibits, allowing you to appreciate the characteristics of different cultures and even compare them with Chinese civilization. Diana, like a wise woman, not only shared the stories behind the exhibits but also showcased the unique humanistic appeal of Britain and the insights of someone who experienced it firsthand. Her profound knowledge and deep understanding of Beijing culture made us feel truly moved and reluctant to leave. My fellow travelers immediately decided to listen for an extra hour. Diana also shared the best camera angles, guaranteed to make your photos go viral on social media.

It is definitely worth going. You can deeply feel the profound British culture and the importance Britain attaches to talents in various fields such as science, culture and art. When we went there, we queued for less than an hour to get in. The order arrangement in the venue was very reasonable and the Chinese translator was very useful.

This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It&#39;s grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won&#39;t want to stop until you&#39;ve seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

The view was beautiful. However the length of visit was a bit short compared to ticket price (personal perspective)
