While wide-ranging research has analysed how cultural intermediaries mediate the relationship between culture and economy, this has been at the expense of a depth analysis of the political. Using our case study as a prompt, we highlight the diversity of ways that the political impacts cultural intermediary work and that cultural intermediary work may impact the political.
