The Never-Ending Quest For Rights And Care In Culture

Friday, 29 September, 10:30 – 12:00

In an industry that relies heavily on freelance projects and lacks full-time contracts and labour protection, the fight for artists’ and professionals’ labour rights is still ongoing. This round table discusses the fight for labour rights in the cultural sector, including Universal Basic Income for artists, ending the gender pay gap, and creating an employment status for cultural professionals. The discussion also emphasizes the significance of care practices in this process.
