At Open Sessions, speakers share their career-defining moments and advice for getting started in a creative field. It is also an opportunity to make new connections and meet like-minded people.

At Open Session #9 guest speaker, Emma Warren explains how an old chocolate factory in London can help us understand the ways in which citizen-generated space can create a culture – and can help us come alive, too. Emma is joined in conversation by Matt Weston, director at utopian regeneration group Spacemakers, and Bobby Brown who is an artist manager in the music industry and heavily involved with Brighton’s community arts scene.
