PANEL DISCUSSION / Collaborative Futures
This Friday at The Lock-Up – PANEL DISCUSSION | Collaborative Futures

When machines learn from us, create with us, and sometimes replace us, what does human collaboration look like now? And what kinds of cultural futures do we actually want to build?
Join us for Collaborative Futures, a human panel conversation exploring collective practice and ways of working together across communities, disciplines and differences.
Panel members: Dr Alysha Fewster, Dr Sarah Breen Lovett, Adam Manning, April Phillips, Shellie Smith, and Assoc. Prof. Mary Zournazi
