They begin their artistic professions as freelancers or on short term contracts. This discussion will be led by  two lawyers, one French and the other English-speaking and offers a  basic understanding of rights and contracts. It will address challenges  particular to women—wage parity, sexism, as well as how to fairly  negotiate a contract. Learn more about the festival at: www.naturethroughhereyes.com
