- When does an artist need a contract?
- What to do when you think you can’t afford a lawyer.
- Copyright! …know who owns your work?
- What to do if, and when legal claims are made against you.
- …and much, much more!

James Nepaulsingh is a multipotentialite polymath: a corporate lawyer, painter, executive coach, board member, techno and house music producer and DJ, podcaster, and lecturer. He is British, based in Tokyo, and is of Trinidadian origin, but he has never been to Trinidad. Since birth, he has always occupied an ambivalent non-space, living between cultures. He regularly enters spaces that weren’t designed for him and sees things others can’t. He translates those experiences into new visual and aural languages. James graduated from the University of Oxford and the Royal College of Art, and qualified as an executive coaching at the University of Cambridge.
Dexter Wimberly is an American curator based in Japan who has organized exhibitions in galleries and institutions around the world including the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City; The Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas, Texas; The Harvey B. Gantt Center in Charlotte, North Carolina; KOKI Arts in Tokyo, Japan; BODE in Berlin, Germany; and The Third Line in Dubai, UAE. His exhibitions have been reviewed and featured in publications including The New York Times and Artforum; and have received support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and The Kinkade Family Foundation. Wimberly is a Senior Critic at New York Academy of Art, and the founder and director of the Hayama Artist Residency in Japan. He is also the co-founder and CEO of the online education platform, CreativeStudy. Photo credit: Hiroki Kobayashi
