Panel 1 - Labour, Value and Social Reproduction.

Panel One: Labour, Value and Social Reproduction
Monday 31 October 2022

The first of four online panels, held in association with Art Monthly Magazine, following a 2-month collaborative writing process. The four panels are the outcome of the Open Society University Network (OSUN), Center for Arts and Human Rights at Bard College 2022 Faculty Fellowship, awarded to Lina Dzuverovic, PI for the And Others project.

Discussants: Fabiola Fiocco, Katja Praznik, Karolina Majewska-Güde, Kirsten Lloyd, Jelena Vesić.

Project Lead and Moderator: Lina Džuverović

Keywords: collaboration, collectives, social reproduction, value, gendered labour, affective labour, sacrificial labour, arts administration, bureaucracy.

This panel focuses on labour and value in collective work, acknowledging that even in most progressive artists’ groups, collectives, or communities, collectivity rests on some form of socially reproductive, affective and often unremunerated labour—most often performed by female-identifying collective members, friends, partners, mothers, administrators or curators.
