In the face of crises and precarity we can’t emphasise the importance of solidarity and collectivising often enough. In response to local and global societal issues, we see more and more active collectivising happening on multiple levels. However, whilst the understanding of the importance of solidarity is growing, more often than not artists are still portrayed as the individual in their studio. How can we collectivise in the current individualising neoliberal system to face crises and precarity together? What does it mean to collectivise, and how do we work together?
