Creativity from women inspires creativity in women. Each week, in our series “Women Create Wednesday,” we share the stories of creators across industries, cultures, and geographies. In October 2020, we spoke to an icon in the music world, artists who work with unusual media, and speakers at Adobe MAX 2020. Read their stories and see their work below.
