This thesis explores how the cultivation of creative practices can contribute to positive responses inprocesses of world-making. It seeks to understand how an individual creative practice affects theperception and making of realities. Stemming from the answers sprung from the study of theproject; an explorative probe-inspired interview, the research project circles around the themes ofknowledge creation, caring, the ability to influence one’s own realities and the ability to stay withuncertainty and how these themes correlate to world-making for ”as good as possible”-worlds. Todeepen the understanding of how individual creative practices can affect world-making on a broaderscale three interviews with experts in the fields of world-making and transformation wereconducted. The material from the study is discussed together with the reflections from theinterviews against a background consisting of, amongst others, Martin Savransky’s, John Law’s andRobin Wall Kimmerer’s ideas of how worlds and knowledges are created. Maria Puig de laBellacasa’s notion of caring and Donna Haraway’s exhortation to ”stay with the trouble” tricklethrough the thesis as a red thread. A problematisation and a definition of the concept of creativityand creative practices are offered to clarify which kinds of creative practices and re-doings that cancontribute to ”as well as possible” worlds.
