What are the tools and solutions for creating better working conditions for those in the performing arts sector? What are the current trends in cultural workers’ movements and initiatives around Europe?

This session will start with an analysis of the “project-based” cultural economy and the pressures and transformations it has brought to the field of artistic production. It will also explore different strategies, alliances and articulate the struggles for better working conditions, with a special focus on feminist, self-organised and political movements in the cultural field that have potential for change.

We will also discuss the position of freelancers and independent artists in a post covid context.
