Happily inviting - BIPOC QUEERS and CRIPS to join the affinity group - Knowing institutions from within - The group is an attempt to bring folks to share their experiences and find ways to deal with institutions and their lack of looking at certain issues - as such understanding how and whether they have start decolonizing themselves from within.
We will bring to the table themes and issues about dealing (healing) , working along and infiltrating institutions in the frame of Berlin performing art scene -
The method will be based on sharing and collecting information in order to create some sort of report from our meetings.
This is a group organized in terms of affinity and to understand how the role of institutions influence our path in the professional field and how we can influence them.
Exchange experiences and views on improvement, dialogue and policies around issues like decolonization, and social justice and how they are addressed to folks like us.
Thus, I would like to share some questions for this group and truly happy to get further considerations and contributions around the topic, like:
-how the idea of community and professionals with common ground shape the realm of the current system
- What can we do now to change, adapt policies
-What contributions we leave for the next generations -
- What are the responsibilities we are taking to shape a future with more social justice, respect for differences and culturals backgrounds
-How can we improve the communication between institutions and people
-What are the specificity of groups like BIPOC/ CRIP/ QUEERs and have not be listened to - what are the improvements…?!
Drop a line if you want to participate, contribute, bringing information that can be useful to the this group and support in policy maknig and legal advice. (very much appreciated) -
This is a self organized group looking at opening the conversation about issues that concern our life as performance artist and people working around this environment in the city of Berlin - perhaps these examples and discussions can also be used/applied in other contexts.
