Manifesto
We are the authors of melody, movement, memory. We are the voices behind the films, the brush behind the canvas, the beat behind the silence. And yet, we remain unseen in the balance sheets.
For decades, artists have been the first to create and the last to be paid. Our rights have been split, sold, or forgotten, locked in outdated systems, trapped in contracts we did not write. The cultural economy feeds on our work but rarely returns its value.
No stakeholder, no label, platform, agency or society, has succeeded in protecting us at scale. Because they were never built for us. But we have the tools now. We have the technology. We have each other.
