Union Members at Royal Museums Greenwich and Other London Institutions Elect to Strike

Staff at London's Royal Museums Greenwich are striking on August 11-12, following a strong union vote for action. For emerging women artists, this isn't just about temporary closures; it's a critical look at how labor is valued within cultural institutions. This moment underscores the importance of fair wages and conditions, urging us all to advocate for equitable practices. As you develop your career, observe these dynamics, critically engage with institutions, and champion your own worth within the broader art ecosystem. Your value as an artist is intrinsically linked to the value of all who contribute to the arts. — Source: Artforum
