PhD Project
funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation
Free artists in the FRG, 1945-2001. Living realities, knowledge production and social policy (working title)
Wibke’s PHD Project takes a closer look at the German health insurance scheme for self-employed artists (Künstlersozialkasse). It covers the time of increasing artistic self-organization after 1945 as well as the resulting attention for the topic in politics and social sciences in the following decades up until the 1980s and 1990s when the heavily disputed law on artistic health insurance came into practice.
