Common use of Respectful Representation Clause in Contracts

Respectful Representation. ‌ Artists who identify with racialized or historically underrepresented groups hold a range of opinions about how aspects of their identity may or may not intersect with the story, characters, or aesthetics of a production. Timely and transparent discussions with the Artist regarding any use or treatment of their identity are vital to ensure informed and ongoing consent. Such consultation is equally important in works with no implied identity-specific content, where the direction/production seeks to ascribe elements of an Artist’s culture or identity on the work.
