Getting Organised: The UVA Story, with Patrick Messe

Marcus Hutton, Dr Mathilde Pavis & Annette Rizzo

The story of UVA (United Voice Artists) is a lesson in organising, not just for Creative Workers, but for everyone affected by AI - which is to say, Everyone.

Co-President, Patrick Messe, explains the urgent need for representation that brought together unions, guilds and other professional bodies, ahead of the EU AI Act. Their cross border collaboration  ensured their voices were heard by politicians and legislators.

From France to Turkey, Poland to South America, they have focussed on their shared purpose of protecting Artists' rights, preserving human creativity and safeguarding the livelihoods of their members.

And the story isn't over yet.
