It this first episode, Patrick Burgoyne, Eliza Williams, Rachael Steven, and Salonee Gadgil gather to discuss the impact of the #MeToo movement on the creative industry and the recent survey we ran on the topic; The trend for artists, designers and ad agencies to create posters for protest, most recently in the Never Again campaign against gun violence in the US; A new monograph by legendary photographer Joel Meyerowitz; and the appearance by artist and illustrator Chris Ware at the recent Offset Festival in Dublin.
