Content
Self-marketing for artists - a necessary condition for practicing the profession or a neoliberal approach to leveling artistic work? This question will be explored in this seminar based on the current working practice of the participants. What individual and collective strategies are conceivable to strengthen one's own artistic position? Which techniques and tools support artists in their professional practice and how can they be used productively? How can the non-commercial character of art be asserted in times when art is increasingly expected to be market-oriented? What does this mean in concrete terms for your own work? The seminar leader takes a stand, gives practical tips and creates space for participants to share their experiences.
Input from the trainer, group work, discussion of practical examples
