What’s happening?
The third edition of The Innovators turns its focus to artists who have used digital platforms to build global audiences without abandoning their craft. From pigment to pixels, this session invites you inside a new creative ecosystem – where artists use social media not to chase trends, but to build meaningful, lasting connections with audiences everywhere.
First up, joining us on a live call from the USA, – internationally recognised painter, curator, and social media powerhouse – shares how she turned miniature painting into a global movement. With a million Instagram followers, Dina uses digital platforms to connect artists, raise funds for global causes, and build communities around slow, hand-made art. From Bird by Bird to The Secret Life of Trees, she’ll reveal how an artist rooted in centuries-old technique can flourish in a hyper-connected world.
Then, – internationally recognised landscape photographer and travel content creator – brings us back into the room with his perspective on authenticity, adventure and audience growth. Collaborating with brands such as DJI, Insta360 and global tourism boards, George has turned his passion for exploring remote, cold landscapes into a distinctive visual brand. With more than one million combined followers, he shares stories of resilience and discovery that show how creators can grow their audience while staying true to their craft.
After the talks, stay for the Q&A, a chance to connect with the speakers and the MediaCity creative community.
