This is the first episode of Art in Permacrisis, a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. We invite speakers with combined backgrounds in art, theory, and organizing to share their insights.
For this episode, we are welcoming Kuba Szreder. Kuba is a lecturer in art theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and a freelance curator. He co-founded the Free/Slow University of Warsaw and the Office for Postartistic Practices. The main topic of our conversation is Kuba’s book ABC of the Projectariat: Living and Working in a Precarious Art World.
Art in Permacrisis is a podcast of the Institute of Network Cultures and Caradt. It is hosted by Candela Cubria and Sepp Eckenhaussen. Tech by Tommaso Campagna. Editing by Giulia Timis.
