Doing Diversity
Much is happening in Berlin’s cultural sector. Increasingly art and cultural institutions are responding to societal debates about diversity and equal opportunity. They seek to become more accessible, dismantle structural barriers and provide a space for the many, rather than the few. A growing number of initiatives from within the cultural sector are questioning the conditions under which art is produced and the structural organization of work within the cultural sector. Initiatives are demanding diversity development in institutions, which critically engage power relations.
We support publicly funded cultural institutions in Berlin as they work towards equal opportunities, just participation and self-representation. At the center of this work lies the sustainable development of diverse cultural work as it relates to personnel, programing or audiences. How can job postings speak to people whose everyday realities differ from each other? What would an exhibition practice or a program that critically engages representation look like? How do we reach a diverse audience?
