The Migrant Assembly #1
PARTICIPATORY IMAGINARIES FOR REST AND THE FUTURE OF RETIREMENT was a one-day assembly in public space focusing on interrogating the current retirement policies for Norway’s artists. In particular for nonEU/EEA artists living and working in the country as professionals who lack the right to a ‘patchwork economy’—that is the impossibility of having multiple and diverse sources of income beyond the arts’ economies.
Tackling current and real issues for artists’ communities is urgent, however not enough in an increasingly jeopardizing future. We must create new protocols of economic solidarity to provide long-term alternatives to secure livelihoods and artistic practices. Furthermore, we need to question bureaucratic regimes’ high-performance imposition upon artists and refuse institutionalized exhaustion. Is it even possible to rest when our livelihood depends on our hyper-productivity in the form of capital? Here ‘rest’, slowing down, and napping might become an early self-given retirement beneft, and a form of resistance.
The Assembly was produced in collaboration with Verdensrommet network , Rodrigo Ghattas, Jodi Rose, Karina Slettstad and curator Maria Alejandra Gatti.
