These try-outs should be understood not in abstract terms, but in the light of the current struggles with labor, housing, racism, homophobia, and anti-fascist positions. If politicians can facilitate these processes for us to work, that would be great. We would wish that the situation wouldn’t look as somber but reality is also knocking on the door of the art sphere. Can politicians regulate the price for studios and project spaces? Can they facilitate real financial support for diversity? Can they push a little bit further and understand the complex situation of art practitioners during and after the pandemic, and give some more support?In the early years, we were not thinking so much about accessibility to our exhibitions and events in a physical sense of venues without elevators or events without translation, but also in a digital sense. For many years, our online magazine hadn’t been accessible for screen-readers for people with poor vision or the blind, or keyboard navigation for people with mobility issues, for example. Getting there was a journey, and I think we would now start from a more accessible place. I would want local politicians to make their funding applications more accessible, not only in terms of able-ism, but also in terms of all forms of discrimination, e.g. proof of citizenship, applications having to be written in German. I wish that they would give a universal basic income to everyone (not just citizens), open their borders, and make healthcare free, free for everyone.Die Gründung des Netzwerks hat unsere Arbeit verändert: Es gibt eine Website, einen Kalender und eine E-Mail-Liste, die die Zusammenarbeit und den Austausch von Informationen erleichtern. Es ist von größter Bedeutung, einen Gesprächspartner zu haben, der in unserem Namen sprechen kann, der den Dialog mit den Politiker*innen aufrechterhält, der den zukünftigen Bedarf an Förderung und Räumen plant sowie neue Projektraummacher*innen und -initiativen begrüßt. Das Ideal wäre, die richtige Balance zwischen Flexibilität und Autorität zu finden, die Vielfalt, die Ziele und die Bedürfnisse aller zu respektieren und auf die Idee zu verzichten, starre und standardisierte Verhaltensregeln zu diktieren, auch wenn sie demokratisch beschlossen werden.
