Justin O'Connor is a Professor of Cultural Economy at the University of South Australia. In this episode, we talk about his new book, 'Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good'. Justin explains how theoretically poor the concept of the 'creative industry' actually is, and how it has messed up cultural policy in many countries. We then talk about an alternative policy vision: art and culture as a common good, anchored in the foundational economy.

Art in Permacrisis #9: Gizem Üstüner's Low-Budget Projects
Gizem Üstüner is an artist and researcher based in Amsterdam, whose work is a direct confrontation with the realities of precarity, migration, and womanhood. In recent years, she’s been traveling to Yogyakarta, Athens, Istanbul, and back to Amsterdam for the long-term ‘Low Budget Projects’. Wherever she goes, Gizem seeks to build solidarity through one-on-one exchanges with peers navigating struggles similar to hers. Over coffees, cigarettes, nights out, or moments of protest, she listens, connects, and shares in the everyday tactics and resistance strategies that cultural practitioners develop in response to the cultural, economic, and political infrastructures they inhabit. In this podcast, we discuss the different chapters of Low Budget Projects, and what they tell us about transparency, solidarity, humor, and resistant joy among art workers’ communities.
