Precarious Nights

part of: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
At the end of 2019, WALTER books, ArtEZ Studium Generale and Focus Filmtheater Arnhem, organized Precarious Nights, a series of evening film screenings, accompanied by talks, interviews and lectures.
It addressed the widely experienced insecurities of young art workers in relation to paid work and working conditions and tried to articulate how these insecurities are related to economic injustice, social inequality and political or institutional unaccountability. The pandemic that interfered with this project exacerbated labour conditions and further exposed the already precarious working conditions of many.

Precarious Days: PART 1

In this first online contribution Krista Jantowski (curator an owner of ‘bookstore’ WALTER) explores the terms ‘precarious’ and ‘precarity’, reflecting on how the two interlink and wondering where the differences between them can become productive. It includes parts of a conversation with sociologists Willem Schinkel and Rogier van Reekum on their book Theorie van de Kraal: Kapitalisme, Ras, Fascisme).

Precarious Days: PART 2

Part two is a republishing of Joram Kraaijeveld’s contribution on solidarity in which he focusses on reinventing the concept of solidarity among cultural workers, which he put into practice during his work as director of Platform BK, an organisation representing artists, designers, curators, critics, and other cultural producers and committed to better art policies such as Fair Pay.
