IMAGINE is the second of a four-part series hosted by Digital Rights Watch as part of the Rebalance the Internet Economy project.  

In this event, we delve into the relationship between writers, poets, bloggers, wordsmiths, publishers, editors, and digital platforms.

Are digital platforms taking the creative arts for granted? With declining income across the board for creative industries, it seems more like social media is an empty vessel of the platform economy than a haven for artists to share their work and reach new audiences. How are writers finding their experiences online? Do they get to experience the benefit of the open and free internet or have digital platforms moved too far into extractivism? 

Join DRW host Lucie Krahulcova in conversation with Associate Professor Rebecca Giblin, Patrick Lenton, Kimberley Benjamin, and 
Roslyn Orlando Moir as they discuss art in online spaces, creators' rights, and how digital platforms could better serve creators.
