	ics.\n\nDigital platforms and mobile apps\, such as Facebook\, Tinder\, Yo
	uTube\, Instagram\,\nNetflix\, the Russian platform VK\, and the China-bas
	ed WeChat\, TikTok\, and\nTantan\, have rapidly become central to the prod

	ork and the cultural sector\, particularly from the perspectives\nof worke
	rs and through platform cooperativism and digital solidarity economy\,\nes
	pecially in Latin America.\n\nThe roundtable will continue this discussion
	 and reflect on the possibilities\nand unfinished futures of digital cultu
	res and its global implications.\n\nThe roundtable will be moderated by cu
