Inspired by Free Software, which challenges conventional practices of authorship, ownership and distribution, this innovative congress explores the implications of those developments for art, visual culture and cultural production in general.

Taking place across two days, the Congress will be structured through three themes of Governance, Creativity and Knowledge; and an array of international and UK participants – artists, theorists, academics and activists – will shape Open Congress through presentations, discussion, workshops and events.
