What does creation look like in the digital era? Who are the creators? How do we interact with our cultural heritage? What roles do museums and collections have to play in the conversation? Is current intellectual property law a help or a hindrance?

The Powerhouse Museum, in conjunction with the Australian Digital Alliance and the Australian Libraries Copyright Committee, is proud to support ‘Creators, Copyright and Collections’ a day of exploration in the area of digital creation and collection.

Be intrigued, provoked, challenged and inspired as a range of experts share their thoughts, experiences and visions.
