Beyond Cultural Precarity
Movement for Cultural Democracy

Add to calendar


How can we fund and democratise our cultures so that resources are equitably distributed, cultural workers are fairly-paid and recognised for their work, and our cultural institutions are more publicly accountable and supportive of grassroots creativity? In this participatory session, our speakers will discuss how we might fund local cultural democracy and implement minimum standards in the sector to tackle precarity and strengthen workers’ rights.
