SXSW Session Report #58: Tips for Reclaiming Your Creative Inner Child

Today I attended a talk session with artist Leo Torres. He spoke about how he deliberately weaves a childlike, playful quality into his work — and how that sense of whimsy is part of what makes it so compelling. He also talked about nurturing his inner child and how he's always searching for things that genuinely delight him. He shared stories behind his various projects, including the time he happened to be at a grocery store when a manager offered him a gig on the spot. He also talked about a designer who made one of his favorite jackets, and the story behind both the jacket and the person who created it.

Torres emphasized that holding onto a childlike playfulness is essential, and that even as adults, we must not close off our creative hearts. He keeps searching for things that bring him joy — and that spirit, he explained, flows directly into his work.

A Session That Opened a Window Into Leo Torres's Creative World

The talk session offered a close look at Torres's projects and his way of thinking — a genuine encounter with his creativity.

Leo Torres believes that infusing your work with a childlike, spontaneous energy is not just nice to have — it's essential.

He teaches that it's important to keep seeking things that bring you joy, and to find ways to express yourself creatively in how you engage with the world.

Never Lose Touch with the Child Inside You

Leo's view is that in both work and life, the key to success is never losing touch with your inner child — and continuing to pursue creativity and joy no matter what.

China-Related Transactions Export-Control Screening Sheet (fill-in / Export Control Law & Dual-Use Regulations, critical minerals, Control List, 2026)

A fill-in working sheet for companies trading with China: screen a single transaction against China's export-control regime (the Export Control Law and the Dual-Use Items Export Control Regulations), the controls on critical minerals (gallium/germanium/graphite/antimony/tungsten etc./rare earths/helium), and the four counterparty-list systems (Control List, Watch List, Unreliable Entity List, countermeasure lists). A procedure for "what to check before the deal," not a roster of "who is listed." With a plain-language intro, based on MOFCOM announcements. Listing is a regulatory category, not a judgment about any company (including the Japanese firms on the Japan-directed lists); controls change continually, so verify current announcements and consult your officer. Match counterparties using the original simplified-Chinese wording.
