Description
Protecting Yourself in The Arts Industry
with Gift Ajimokun
As a Queer Black Neurodiverse woman, I know how difficult it can be to advocate for yourself and put yourself first.
I want to share my first-hand experience and the lessons I’ve learnt with you. In the creative industry, the biggest asset you have is yourself and your creative mind and so you need to protect it at all costs. This industry can squeeze the life out of you and discard you and I want to make sure that will not happen.
Things we will cover:
• How can you legally protect yourself and the work you create?
• How to advocate for your access needs
• How to deal with micro and macroaggression towards you and your work
• Constructive feedback – who should you actually take advice from?
• Self-care in the creative industry
• When everything feels monetizable, how do you create space for your practice.
When: Friday 22nd October
Time: 6.30 - 8.30pm
Where: Online
