Scheduling
Session Description: 

Presenters: Capital D, All Natural INC.; Invincible, Emergence Music; Bec Young and Pete Yahnke, Just Seeds Visual Resistance Artist Cooperative; Jessica Care Moore, Moore Black Press

This interactive session will move from a multimedia process of envisioning the type of interdependent economies we as independent artists need in order to thrive and evolve, then to a dialog around the specific challenges we face in creating what we envision. Participants will take an up close look at the ins and outs of 4 organizations working to develop alternative economies for independent media makers--Just Seeds, a national collective of visual artists; Moore Black Press, the independent publishing company of Detroit poet Jessica Care Moore; the Chicago-based All Natural, Founders of the label All Natural, Inc.,and Emergence Media a brand new label currently 'emerging' from Detroit.
