‘Free Culture’

Brooklyn artist Colin Mutchler will perform his multimedia show about copyright, creativity and the Internet on Saturday, April 9.

Mutchler draws from personal experience and the Web to demonstrate the complex — and often entertaining — connection between cultural property and freedom.

Based on the book Free Culture by Stanford Law School professor Lawrence Lessig, the national Free Culture tour seeks to engage young leaders and communities to participate in the “digital commons” — the shared social domain in cyberspace.

Issues of copyright, intellectual property and access have made the concept of the digital commons a subject of hot debate in universities around the world.

The event is sponsored by the University Community Collaborative of Philadelphia at Temple University, housed in the political science department, in collaboration with Listen Up!, a youth media network.

WHEN: Saturday April 9, 11 a.m.–2 p.m.

WHERE: Tuttleman Learning Center, room 405
