I have a small hobby business for my hand made jewellery and naturally dyed textiles. I am studying kinesiology and my course fees are a lot so I'm just trying to figure out how I can make enough to pay for this course, while maintaining my creative practices and not selling my soul to a job I don't like.
An online symposium exploring ideas of basic income and the need for an approach to economy that puts creativity and care at its centre. Led by a panel of artists, researchers, economists, scientists and philosophers, the symposium responds to current and ongoing planetary crises, and positions creativity and social ecology as integral to shaping policy and systems of value.
The Symposium is a joint initiative of Arts Front, BLINDSIDE and Next Wave and was supported by the City of Melbourne COVID-19 Arts Grants.
