This section presents a mosaic of voices and testimonies from individuals who have experienced the reality of precarious labour in the context of artistic education, including all creative disciplines. The narratives presented have been written following the criteria of each author, emphasising those aspects considered most relevant for each case.

Due to the unique character of precarious labour, it is possible to publish a personal narrative using a real name or a pseudonym, as long as the author is correctly identified to those managing the webpage, who guarantee the confidentiality of each testimony published without the author’s full name. The only restrictions on content are related to length and, given the case, possible legal implications of the descriptions offered.
