We launched our 2012 programme of events by hosting our first ever Talkaoke at Summerhall. The innovative event enticed a lively debate around the theme of workspaces and working practices that exist within the creative industries. Our fantastic panel, representing a spectrum of sectors within the creative industries, were able to feed in their thoughts and pose questions which the audience fed in with ideas.
Panel speakers
included:
Sam Goldblatt, Carrie Maginn, Lyall Bruce, Desmond Bernie, Oliver
Chapman, Kevin Harman and Peggy Hughes.
