Storytelling and Intellectual Property

Cultures and communities have their own ideas of intellectual property. In conjunction with the Vancouver Opera's First Nations inspired production of The Magic Flute this forum explores questions of culture, language, story and myth. In the realm of the collective unconscious, are their boundaries and territories? Should there be? Who owns words once they are spoken? What is the personal responsibility of the artist/storyteller? Panelists include Grey Young-Ing (Cree), writer, poet and Chair of the Indigenous Peoples Caucus for the Creators' Rights Alliance. Moderated by Amir Ali Alib
