Artist Training Berlin - Course: Empowerment Strategies for creators

Artist Training Berlin – Course Program 2024
3 September to 29 October 2024 “Empowerment Strategies for creators - from survival mode to building resilience” by Jamila Al-Yousef

Many freelance artists struggle to make a living and do that in a mentally healthy manner, especially artists of color and art creators with discrimination experiences such as racism, sexism or ableism. This course aims at helping you navigate through these challenges on three different levels. In this course we will:
1) train concrete tools such as getting funding, organizing events, creating an artist profile, interacting on social media and digital platforms, being insured, finding an agency, getting the most out of networking and showcase events etc. 2) Work on empowerment strategies to build up resilience and stay mentally healthy. 3) How to be in solidarity with each other and overcome gate keeping.
As an experienced anti-racism and empowerment trainer in the cultural sector, as well as a touring musician and theatre performer I invite you on a journey of getting both more professional in your art field and at the same time remembering and boosting your resilience.
Jamila Al-Yousef is a musician, theatre performer, coach and consultant on empowerment, power sharing and intersectional/racism-critical cultural work.
