Beyond Value Chains and Supply Chains: The Future of the Labour of Artists with Zainub Verjee
Today we are witnessing the limitations of an entrepreneurial state driven by the neoliberal logics. The three crises that we are enduring—public health, social and economic—have shone a light on the paradox of labour and embedded reality of artists. In testing times such as these and to envisage a path forward we need to understand where we are now and how did we get to the present crisis? How did the systemic evolution of the cultural labour market premised on the introduction of competition saw the subsequent transformation of artists into cultural entrepreneurs?
This keynote address from Artpreneur 2020 highlights the political economy of the labour of artists and explore the options as to whether we go for a reset or reinvent a new way forward.
Presented by Arts Network Ottawa in partnership with Wallack's, Invest Ottawa and Shifter Agency
