NOTES

The workshops bearing the wording [AWI] were conceived in partnership with Art Workers Italia, the first autonomous and non-partisan association, created with the aim of giving a voice to the contemporary art worker in Italy. Born in 2020 from the effort of political imagination of a group of workers, AWI is an association that collaborates with experts in the legal, fiscal and administrative sector, research institutions and universities, art and culture institutions to build ethical tools , contractual and juridical to protect the art workers.
The workshops may be led as a set or individually.
The same workshop may be repeated several times to include a larger number of students.
All tutor fees, and the costs to be expected for the workshops, are calculated according to fair compensation system developed by Art Workers Italia.
