About

Art and Labor is a podcast for art workers trying understand their place in the brutal capitalist systems of power. We chronicle the stories of organizing and social justice within the arts. We center the human cost of the “art world” and advocate for fair labor practices for artists, assistants, fabricators, docents, interns, registrars, janitors, writers, editors, curators, guards, performers, and anyone doing work for art & cultural institutions.
