Workshop / 2025
Saturday, February 22nd at 2:00pm
XINEMA Fieldhouse
Following a review of the history of artist contracts in both administrative and experimental contexts, participants will be encouraged to reflect on the challenges in their own work environments, using writing exercises to consider playful or earnest subversions of bureaucratic tools. This workshop is geared toward artists and arts workers.
This discussion is a part of SUNSET SEDUCTION: Gatherings Against Institutional Capture, a three-part series consisting of a discussion, workshop, and screening with artist Charles de Agustin that will take place between February 19-23. These engagements investigate the tensions between nonprofit, state, and grassroots formations through the lens of cultural institutions in Vancouver, BC and beyond.
