Precarity is not specific to the field of art, and experiences from other fields can help us look at our own problems from a different perspective. Kuba Szreder has coined the term “projectariat” to describe the working conditions in the art world. What forms of self-organizing can help us solve our problems? What are the deeper structural issues, and what are the easily solvable problems? Is individualism to blame for everything, and will unions save us? And how do we organize effectively to avoid burnout? The online magazine Artalk, in collaboration with the Czech branch of tranzit, invites you to a discussion that aims to open up possibilities and answer the questions that come with working in the cultural sphere, many of which are reflected in this year’s edition of the Biennale Matter of Art 2024.
