Co-ops delivering inspired creativity
In 2025, the UN is spotlighting cooperative enterprise under the global theme “Cooperatives Build a Better World.” At a time when creative industries are grappling with burnout, extractive business models and human disinvestment, cooperatives offer a radically different path forward – one grounded in shared ownership, equity and creative vitality.
This panel explores the momentum behind co-ops in the creative space, offering real-world insights from those building worker- and artist-owned firms and reimagining what creative work can look like in a decentralized, digital-first world.
