Cultural Workers Cooperative
The Cultural Workers Cooperative is raising a platform for and building a network of cultural workers who are working to secure justice for all. We are developing and sharing our work to more broadly influence culture and to advance social and economic justice through our work. The Cultural Workers Cooperative is a project supported by the Centre for Learning and Democracy.

Cultural Workers Securing Justice
Cultural workers intentionally produce culture through the objects and symbols that form the cultural landscape of community life. We construct community life through words, sounds, tastes, movements, spaces, objects, shapes, colours, images and other symbols.

The Cultural Workers Cooperative is dedicated to a cultural life that cherishes life, respects human rights and advances justice. We advance love, joy and passion for life.

  • Raise a platform
    We seek to influence the work of other cultural workers by giving voice to the cultural work of liberation and by advancing and sharing our ideas about cultural work. The platform we build is intended to create new spaces for new thinkers and creators of culture.
  • Build a network
    The Cultural Workers Cooperative is a network that brings together cultural workers to learn from each other and share ideas and projects. We connect our work to each other and to the communities of which we are part.
  • Develop cultural work
    We develop skills and gain knowledge in order to improve our work. We build creative spaces to conduct our work. And we seek critical and constructive feedback from each other.
  • Share cultural work
    We share our work with each other and the community. We promote ideas, seek greater influence, draw attention and develop relationships in order to get our ideas, projects and products out there and used.
  • Advance justice
    We cherish life, respect human rights and advance justice. We create cultural spaces that are joyful and thoughtful. We create cultural experiences that challenge society to justice. We fight for justice, join in solidarity and use our skills and crafts to advance our values.

The Cultural Workers Cooperative is just getting started. You are invited to join us as we build the cooperative together. For more information write to tom@learningdemocracy.ca.
