Cultural Cooperatives Visiting Ceramics Studio Co-op from Cultural Coops on Vimeo.
Work in the cultural sector is often precarious, exploitative and individualized – but what are the alternatives?
Watch our visit to Ceramics Studio Coop and see how worker cooperatives in the cultural industries can challenge the way we work and create. It’s the first in a series of videos introducing cultural co-ops and exploring the politics of co-ops in the cultural sector.
Follow us on Twitter @culturalcoops to find out when we launch cultural.coop, a website to collect resources about the co-operative model and to encourage collaboration and solidarity among cultural co-ops.
Let’s open up the conversation about the struggles faced by cultural workers and share our stories of resistance.

Anne Issakson, one of the artists making her work in the Ceramics Studio Co-op is opening her show titled No (More) for 22 April – 24 April 2016 at Oxo Tower Wharf.
An exhibition exploring a meeting between the minds of granddaughter, Anne Isaksson, and her late grandmother.
Both artists, the duo will be represented in unique ways, the grandmother by her clothing and granddaughter by a set of ceramic bowls.
This project was set out by both in end of life conversations and moulded from a vessel that was passed on from one to the other.
The ceramic bowls represent values and themes they both worked with, to look outside their own circle to something shared.
Anne Isaksson was born 1972 in Goteborg, Sweden. Graduated from London School of Economics 1998 (BA Geography) and from University of East London 2014 (MA Fine Art) where she studied under Grenville Davey.
Anne has worked with social media and was part of setting up one of the first Avatar communities in 2000. She also has a degree in Architecture (BSc Architecture) from Royal School of Technology, Stockholm and University of East London, 2010. While being active in these other areas she has always been working on her own paintings and sculptures and attended many years of life drawing classes at Prince’s Drawing School. Throughout there has been a desire to work as an artist. Since 2012 Anne Isaksson has been working full time producing her own work.
