Get Paid!

A presentation and sharing of ideas, methods, knowledges, tools and action around pay and value systems within cultural work. Drawing on research and conversations from Cubitt’s Structures That Cooperate programme curated by Louise in 2019, this presentation will centre learning from collaborations with unions, cultural workers, cooperative models and from histories of strike, refusal, self organising and autonomy.
