This is a free ticketed event for Young Barbican members only.
How do you harness your peers and network to support each other’s careers?
In this session, we’ll be recognising the value of building a network, and introduce the importance and value of peer review.
We will be joined by a panel of guests who are at the forefront of building support networks across the arts sector.
During the second half of the session, we will carry out peer-led discussions of each other’s work. You are welcome to come to the session with an idea or piece of work you wish to discuss and receive feedback on.
Food and drink will be available.
