When we think of creativity, we often think about making something new. But what about protecting and honoring what already exists? Preserving culture is just as important as creating it—and in many ways, the two go hand in hand.

In this video, I’m sharing why I believe cultural preservation should be a core part of every artist’s journey and how honoring our history actually strengthens our creative future.

We’ll talk about:
✅ What it means to preserve culture in your work
✅ Why artists are powerful cultural storytellers
✅ The balance between innovation and tradition
✅ How culture connects generations and communities

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your work meaningful beyond just the moment, this is the conversation for you.
