Date: Saturday, December 1st / Time: 14:30 / Venue: Samsara, The Park Chennai / Event Type: Music, Film, Culture Conference
The growth of the creative economy depends on a healthy dialogue between content creators, curators and those entrusted with the protection and regulation of content. The advent of new technologies such as block chain adds layers to these discussions, requiring deeper insight and attention to legal, socio-economic and intellectual property rights that can allow content creators to be free to explore their creativity. The discussion extends to one that intersects between visual arts, film and music. This session is about how we as a community can protect and work together for our economic, creative and socio-political rights as artists, activists and businesses.
