Cultural Enterprises Conference

/

, ,

Commissioned in March to photograph the two day event, the Cultural Enterprises Conference was an interesting event to attend. There was a lot of discussion on interesting ways to use your creative work to make money to further new creative endeavours. I enjoyed the talk by Florence Schechter, founder of the Vagina Museum, and I was impressed by Ashley Alexander’s talk about Hasbro’s IP. Magic the Gathering is somehow bigger than Transformers. Wild.
