Description
The talk aims to discuss the problems facing UK and potentially Dutch cultural organisations, namely reductions in state funding, and for what funds that remain, an increasingly instrumental function for their spend to meet Neo Liberal state objectives. What can critical art spaces do to work within these constraints? Our talk aims to raise these issues from a UK perspective; our work as artists and researchers makes evident those economic prerogatives and the critical state of the cultural sector now, connecting cultural policy and research funds to ideas of depoliticization in the nation state, and asking what must be done to counter this.| Period | 13 Apr 2024 |
