For the fourth installment of Art.coop’s “Art Worlds We Want" at CTHQ, Creative Time's new gathering space for art and politics, we’ll be talking to organizers and activists in the world of journalism, media and entertainment who are not only resisting exploitative tendencies in these fields - from the ever consolidating media sphere, conditions in Hollywood which led to the #WritersStrike & #ActorsStrike and mass layoff of podcasters, writers and journalists happening currently - but actively building fairer systems for journalists, writers and entertainers. We’ll get into the very real challenges of building cooperatively-rooted media organizations and institutions amidst late stage capitalism’s last gasps, learn about each person’s story of how they got on this path, while also hearing from these visionaries about what it means to them to work on these projects in the face of a David vs. Goliath-level fight. What lies beyond the status quo in journalism, media and entertainment?
