The Accountant (audio file) & transcript can be accessed here.
The Creative Accounting event was created by Talking Birds in collaboration with the Centre for Business in Society at Coventry University & Creative Accounting at Monash University.
Talking Birds is a Coventry-based company of artists known for our gently provocative projects which explore, and seek to illuminate, the profound and complex relationships between people and place. We’re big on access, human connection, social and ecological responsibility, and on nurturing the next generation of artists and theatre makers, particularly in Coventry.
Find out more about Talking Birds here: start with our values, what we got up to last year, our big tin whale, the difference engine and our citizens’ assembly on arts and culture.
