Hello dearest crowd!
Not much longer and then it's that time again! We'll see each other again soon!
That's why we want to remind you once again about our awareness team and concept!
Because...
...it is our heartfelt concern that EVERYONE feels safe and comfortable.
Unfortunately, that doesn't happen on its own. Discrimination and other border-crossing behavior are part of everyday social life and we cannot simply hand them over at the entrance pagoda.
Utopia requires awareness, practice and active engagement. Until we get there, the awareness team offers acute support to people affected by (especially sexism and sexualized violence).
The awareness team works in the sense of the power of definition of affected persons and supports the (re)creation of agency, self-determination and space.
Activist awareness work includes education on discrimination and assault issues, educational work with the entire crew & crowd, but also much earlier in the formation of the festival structure.
The awareness team makes every effort to address all attendees in a respectful manner that takes into account self-localization, self-chosen names and pronouns that are perceived as appropriate and clearly places them above ascriptions to others.
It is important to note that even as a team, we do not have personal experience of all forms of discrimination. So far, the extended awareness team is predominantly white, cis, female, academic with German as their mother tongue. In line with our backgrounds, our expertise lies in feminism, sexism and sexualized violence. We practice together (e.g. in the weekly online reading circle) on various topics, but we still lack practical experience in dealing with and sensitivity to adultism, ableism and the neurodiverse spectrum. We are aware of this limitation and therefore limit the scope of our work according to our expertise so as not to reproduce discrimination ourselves. Of course, we will not send affected people outside this area away and will try to establish contact with more competent support, but we are sensitized to various structural forms of discrimination and adhere to your definition of discrimination.
We invite the beloved festival community to reflect on the current event and to express criticism of it or, for example, of group dynamics or individuals (and to remain anonymous if they wish).
Racist, sexist, sexualized, homophobic and all other forms of discrimination and border-crossing will not be tolerated at the festival! The awareness team has the right of domicile.
