Seminaari taiteilijoiden muuttuvasta työelämästä ja toimeentulosta

The symposium addresses the future of the artists’ livelihood. Hosted by Kiasma, and co-organised by Aalto University, Uniarts Helsinki and the University of Helsinki, the event focuses on the rapid changes in contemporary society and new affordances that those changes introduce for the professionals working in the arts field.

The precarious work market suggests new roles for arts professionals and their education, but also opens up new opportunities for art researchers to probe into the complexities of the late modern society, culture and working life. These and other questions around artists’ future livelihood, along with questions of societal responsibility, are discussed during the symposium. 
 
The symposium invites artists, art-related researchers, art educators, art students, and other stakeholders interested in the artist’s livelihood.

Participation is free of charge.
