On Thursday 2 February, we hosted a live panel talk in Hen’s Teeth with photographer @elliusgrace, Doja Cat co-signed designer @rashhiiid, rising act @bricknxsty and artist/illustrator @fuchsiamacaree.In college and school, there’s rarely discussion of the implications of burnout, how to manage time, budgets or how you can develop sustainable practices to ensure you are your best self. Basically all the non creative parts of being an artist or self-employed person. They came correct with the practices improving their work life balance after a period of reflection in January.Hosted by Dylan Murphy.Please drink Jameson responsibly.Visit Drinkaware.ie for more info.
