I'm presenting the mission and ambitions of Verdensrommet at Unge Kunstneres Samfund's seminar "ARTISTS ORGANIZING ARTISTS" on the occasion of UKS's 100th anniversary.
I'm sharing the stage in a panel discussion with fellow artist organizers and advocates Steffen Håndlykken (Chair of the UKS Board of Directors), Simona Barbera (Art Workers Italia), and Maj Horn (Unge Kunstnere og Kunstformidlere).
Verdensrommet is a mutual-support network of currently 200+ non-EU/EEA artists and cultural workers based in Norway. The network is a space for solidarity and exchange for immigrant artists in precarious situations shaped by meeting two often conflicting conditions: the nature of artist labour and Norwegian immigration regulations (utlendingsforskriften).
