Flinn Works: Artist Talk – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Flinn Works: Artist Talk
Flinn Works talks with participating artists about the White Money project. White money flows from the arts funding bodies in Europe. It funds artists in the Global South or commissions work from artists in the Global South to be presented in the Global North. White money therefore shapes or reinforces inequalities and re-iterates racist and neo-colonial structures. Flinn Works, like all art professionals who work across the invisible borders of Global North and Global South are deeply entangled in this structure. With a group of six artists and curators from different parts of the world, the project sheds light on some hidden aspects of white money.
