Playing Fair: Collaboration and social practice
Against a backdrop of social, political and environmental upheaval, the speakers on this panel provide insight to emerging artists on the challenges of navigating a career in independent professional arts practice. Forging a career as a professional artist comes with ethical and moral questions around seeking funding, working with communities and collaborating with artists, and representing your practice to institutions and business corporations.

Facilitated by Patrice Sharkey and featuring Hatched 2018 Alumni Elham Eshraghian, community cultural development practitioner Pilar Kasat, director, writer and choreographer Sam Fox and multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer Tyrown Waigana
