It opposes the neoliberal regime of mobility of artists and art workers through self-management, social rootedness and resistance, linking struggles against artwashing, gentrification and labour precarisation. The speakers discuss activist practices in Venice, New York and Palestine and the role of artists and cultural producers in the global interconnection of struggles.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/radical-permanence-artists-cultural-producers-and-the-interc-54885/", "official_url": "https://www.propertyistheft.org/events/kp5imszmm09yfp4g9umdbu6e9mb0gv", "image": "https://noky.io/images/92238af6021126d570becfa05f089e1935b51430b5eca1f9bcb4cc344c39bbd7-2000.webp"}, {"title": "Triple Canopy Symposium 2026 (Day 2)", "start": "2026-11-14T13:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Roulette", "address": "Atlantic Avenue 509, 11217", "price": "Free w/ RSVP", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["society/culture"], "description": "Triple Canopy Symposium 2026 (Day 2) is a multiday gathering bringing together artists, writers, performers, and researchers to address the role of culture in responding (or contributing) to a range of critical issues.
