Hacking Business Models in the Cultural Sector (Workshop Free)

Let's face it: the traditional cultural sector often forces us to choose between our creative integrity and financial survival. The myth of the "starving artist" or the "solitary genius" perpetuates a cycle of precarity among cultural workers. But what if we could reshape our projects?

Join us for an engaging and hands-on workshop co-hosted by ODBK and Travelling U. Let's explore how to dismantle extractivist practices and design alternative business models that genuinely support creators!

What You Will Learn:

• Beyond the Canvas: Viewing system design and business models as part of your artistic medium.
• Alternative Frameworks: An intro to cooperative structures and the solidarity economy.
• Redefining Value: Measuring the success of your cultural project using care metrics rather than capitalist extraction.
• Real-World Pathways: Discover examples of cultural workers who have successfully subverted traditional systems for economic sovereignty.

Who Should Attend:

Artists, cultural managers, creative freelancers, and social entrepreneurs in Berlin who are tired of the hustle culture and wish to explore sustainable, collective work structures.
