Wages4Wages

Launched in 2017, Wages For Wages Against is a collective and campaign for the fair remuneration of artists in Switzerland, better work conditions, and an alternative economy of the arts, actively fighting all forms of discrimination through public debate and collective action. We require art organizations to be accountable and transparent to guarantee fair practices and equal opportunities in a too often discriminatory context. We want to pool our knowledges, recreate common spaces, unveil systemic mechanisms, talk about money and competition, regain power and governance over issues concerning artists, fairly redistribute public money, and counter rather than replicate patterns of domination. WFWA received a Swiss Art Award in 2022.
