The next touring artists / IAIB MONTHLY MEET-UP is coming up on 27 September 2022!
What is the KSK? How do I get into it? And what do I have to keep in mind once I'm in? The KSK is a kind of insurance agency that enables freelance artists and publicists to have insurance coverage similar to that of employees. That means that you, as an artist, pay half of the insurance contributions, the KSK pays the other half. However, the application to the KSK can be associated with minor hurdles and even once you are in, there are some things that need to be considered.
Our guest is Kathleen Parker. She is the managing director of Red Tape Translation UG, working as a legal translator, interpreter and relocation coach. She is a member of the German Federal Association of Translators and Interpreters and a long-time member of the artists' health insurance scheme herself thanks to her creative pursuits, which include opera singing, music teaching and copy editing. Kathleen has helped hundreds of people through the confusing mess that is the Künstlersozialkasse application process.
