Balagan Loves Creatives X Beata Chomątkowska
Meet Beata Chomątowska, our next heroine from Balagan Loves Creatives series, in which we present the profiles of women whom we admire. Beata is a writer and journalist. She is the author of several books and co-author of the temporary exhibit "Tu Muranów", which will open in September at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Her first book "Stacja Muranów " has been revealing the complicated and difficult history of Muranów district in Warsaw. For her recent one - "Betonia" - she was nominated for the Gdynia Literary Prize. We asked her what does creativity mean to her.
Beata's Balagan choice is Shuk Fanny Pack.
"For me, creativity is openness to new things, readiness to keep away from well-known paths, constant experimentation, being guided by an internal creative impulse. Freedom of imagination, movement and development."
In writing, it is following the impulse, your own ideas without wondering, if anyone (including your internal censor) may find them peculiar. It also means being open up to anything that will come out, because the creative process is a bit like casting a rod in the ocean of collective unconsciousness.
Beata describe herself: "I am a child of Bauhaus - I value functional and simple design with character. I easily get attached to objects, so I want them to serve me as long as possible, I need their quality and aesthetics to go hand in hand. And if they are not an effect of mass production, but a result of craftsmen’s work it is perfect."
