Museums, art centres, theatres and the like establish and guard the institutionalised idea of what art is. These institutions are frequently immersed in rigid, maladaptive frameworks of public bureaucracies, and have opaque hiring and artist selection practices.

Public and private funding institutions address the gap between the needs of artistic production and the inability of contemporary market economies to sustain the art and culture field. Art professionals often lack the tools to navigate this system or to understand its governing interests and powers.

Artists can partner with scientists to promote environmental justice and each other’s work. Feminist performers can join forces with human rights advocates to protect female minorities.
