Idea Society
to democratize creativity
Scroll
A Swedish organisation founded in 2010 with one aim: to democratize creativity. We later became MethodKit, after deciding to focus on method development.
Project of How, in 2012, was the first project that took us along that path. What follows is the work that came before, four exhibitions and books made between 2009 and 2012.
Citizen photo-journalism: 44 young photographers depicting Sweden. Published as a book, translated into seven languages, and shown from Stockholm to St Petersburg, Moscow, Tbilisi, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Awarded Best Practice 2009 by the EU.

34 young Georgian photographers showing pieces of their everyday life. 1,400 photographs submitted, 41 selected. The opening at Tbilisi's Rustaveli Theatre drew around 400 people and ran across Georgia's three major TV channels, then travelled to Stockholm in 2011.
See the exhibition →A searchable bank of creativity methods, the first of its kind to categorize and search methods on the web. Funded by the City of Stockholm, the Swedish Ministry of Culture and the EU, and co-founded with four other Hyper Island graduates. This is where the turn toward method development began.
