Mon 11 February 2019 16:00-18:00 - Goldsmiths Students' Union Cafe
Meet Alec; a creative entrepreneur, editor, lecturer and general do-er who didn’t start his first internship until he was twenty-eight. From 4-6pm he’s here to debunk every myth that you’ve ever been told about making it in creative industries, and to get you angry about working for free.
