Ecosystems of Solidarity by ULUS in Požega

From June 14–17 in Požega! This solidarity gathering is convened by ULUS, an organization that advocates for improving the status of artists in Serbian society, their working conditions, and exploring new ways of collaboration. The event will feature participation from our team members Aline Hernández and Marianna Takou, who will share an introduction and a brief history of the Arts Collaboratory network, as well as the role of art institutions in fostering radical imagination. This session will examine economic experimentation, emphasizing funding paradigm shifts and alternative economies of solidarity, supported by self-organizing and self-governance structures. These mechanisms, developed in AC over time and influenced by funding and policy trends in the Netherlands and the broader EU context, can serve as an inspiration for broader art world sustainability through collective tools, shared responsibility, and ethical accountability.
