The symposium “Atelier Europa: Creative Labour in New Cultural Economies”, is conceived of as an Anglo-German focused dialogue which seeks to investigate the relationship between the cultural-political conditions of the current social-democratic governments and the field of self-organised cultural production. One aspect of this investigation will be the current transformations and conflicts that can be seen to reside within this relationship. The focus of the conference will be on the patterns of work and life in the cultural industries, ethnic and gender-specific roles and opportunities in the area of culture, and the significance of value creation and economic efficiency for cultural production. The general questions for discussion will be “How can flexibility among cultural producers be promoted without advocating the neo-liberal system? What is the social use of creative labour?”

The symposium is part of the exhibition- and researchproject
