A participatory workshop exploring how creative practitioners sustain their work while navigating institutions, independence and personal values. Drawing on their backgrounds in publishing and audio production/archiving, Sherif Dhaimish and Olivia Melkonian invite participants to reflect on compromise, autonomy and what success looks like on their own terms. Through discussion, live polling and group exercises, the session will explore how creative careers are built across both independent and institutional contexts.
This event is supported by the OUTLANDS Network.
