The public domain is an invitation to play with culture. 🎨📚 So, what happens when people take familiar stories & make them strange, funny, and entirely their own? Join us for a LIVE recording of the #FutureKnowledge podcast: REMIX CULTURE AND THE STORIES WE SHARE, featuring cartoonist Alec Robbins, author-librarian Liz Gotauco, and copyright expert Meredith Rose of Public Knowledge. From Betty Boop to twisted German folktales, we'll talk about creativity, remix, and the possibilities of the public domain. 📅 Thurs. Nov. 12 🕙 10 AM PT – 11 AM PT 📍 VIRTUAL 🎟️ eventbrite.com/e/remix-cultu… @alecrobbins @publicknowledge
