The second performance titled Hair, where this time, it will the hair of the artist, which will be on sail. Through this gesture, Galindo points out the perversity of our society, where everything has its price, hence everything can be bought.

In their own words, the text is, “the work of ANON. We are a collective of ‘Other.’ Some of us are sex workers, some immigrants, many of us queer. There are even a few privileged white cucks amongst us. Never the less, ANON is largely the work and brainchild of people of color (PoC). Our social disciplines are as varied as our identities: from journalists to dominatrixes. ANON are the intellectual cousins of #BlackLivesMatter divorced from liberalism.”

In the lecture, I would like to address the issue of the labour of the artist from the perspective of the feminist artistic work and discuss, how already from the end of the 1970s feminists artists engaged with the issues of the flexible and precarious work, the issues that are also so pertinent in the labour of the artist today. From the perspective of those artists, the exploration of labour opened new dimension how to understand and reflect upon labour of female artist and her emancipated life.
