For emerging creatives, intellectual property is often described as “a really uncomfortable thing”. It can be stressful, overwhelming, and every situation is unique. How can we unpack this discomfort to tackle difficult IP conversations with care and respect? How might personal contexts, interests, and values play a role in advocating for the value of your work?

Join us for an interactive workshop to learn about the basics of IP in creative practice, participate in a roleplaying exercise with peers to learn from each others’ experiences, and generate a collective toolkit to embrace and navigate complexities in the grayscale.
