ANTICAPITALISM FOR ARTISTS, DAY 3: A worker co-operative is a workplace that is owned and self-managed by the workers themselves. In this short teach-in, we’ll speak with existing co-operative and an expert discussing what worker co-operatives are, how they work, and why there aren’t more in America, followed by discussion on how such structures could exist amongst artists and why art is or is not a suitable world to build these sorts of institutions.
Spearheaded by DSA member Chris Myers, Anticapitalism for Artists is a collaboration involving members of DSA-LA Hollywood Labor, DSA-NYC Workers Arts Project, and other socialist organizations.
