Dr. Girija Kaimal - Why Art and Creativity Matter

Dr. Girija Kaimal, professor and chair of the Creative Arts Therapies department, reflects on the fundamental role of creativity in human life. She explains that unlike most species, humans possess imagination—the ability to create, problem-solve, and predict the future. Art, she says, is both a byproduct and a practice of this imaginative capacity, helping us navigate challenges, regulate our emotions, and connect with others in ways words cannot. Whether through visual arts, music, dance, or poetry, creative expression supports health, well-being, and resilience, making life both more manageable and more meaningful.
