Demonstration Artists Against Precarity in Toulouse

Demonstration Artists Against Precarity in Toulouse

A pancake, that's a good situation, isn't it Artist?. You know, I don't think that's a good situation. If I had to summarize 8389€/year = median income for visual artists.

Manifested works = an exhibition + a demonstration, against the precariousness of art workers, to raise awareness of their status and working conditions, against budget cuts in culture, to share art with as many people as possible.
