Add your pay data

WORKFORFREE.RIP is a transparency index that invites art workers to turn their pay data into public knowledge. By documenting and sharing real figures, it challenges the manufactured scarcity and competition that keep us isolated — recognizing that pay secrecy protects bosses, not workers. Transparency not only exposes the often invisible labor behind cultural production, but becomes a shared basis for worker solidarity: to support informed negotiation, and to hold institutions, galleries, and organizations accountable.

Be aware that combinations of data could make it possible to identify you, so only provide what you are comfortable sharing. Most fields are optional; others let you select from categories to avoid providing specifics that could compromise anonymity. Filling out this form is an active choice: the more workers contribute, the harder it is to single anyone out or face retaliation. All entries are anonymous by default, and you can edit or delete your entry at any time.
