What's the future of freelancing? After a challenging year for the creative industries, HWFI Creative Enterprise Zone, Echo and Women of the Wick are excited to invite you to reimagine the future of creative freelance work together.
Join a panel discussion with local creatives on how to build a sustainable freelance career, and stick around for a drink, chat and networking afterwards. (It's okay if you are feeling rusty—so are we!)
The panel will be hosted by Sara Kärpänen, the founder of Women of the Wick community and consultancy championing marginalised voices and tackling inequality in the creative industry.
Our panel guests will bring diverse viewpoints from their experiences working as freelancers and creating new ways to work, collaborate and thrive.
Our panelists:
- Nicole Logan - Founder of Audio Art Talent Management and Production Company Dutchie Club
- Emily Hana - Visual Artist and Printmaker with a residency at Hackney Wick Underground
- Simone Lezzi - Photographer, Director at Camera Work and Cre8 Studio in Hackney Wick
- Adelaide Lumor - DJ, Cultural Curator, Director at BORN N BREAD and Community Manager at Create Jobs
The event is hosted by Echo, a community of people and businesses who help each other by sharing time and skills.
We’ll also be introducing Echo's new Wick Freelancers programme - a 3 month journey to help you strengthen your freelance career through the power of collaboration and peer support. The programme is funded by the Mayor of London as part of the HWFI Creative Enterprise Zone.
