An alliance for equity, visibility, and collective transformation in arts and culture.

Our 2022 Position Paper introduced our organisation to the world as a newly founded alliance, presenting our core values, actions, and positions grounded in our garden concept. It outlines urgent pathways toward equity, accountability, and structural transformation—calling on decision-makers and institutions to move beyond tokenism and declarations to shared responsibility and sustained action for a just and inclusive cultural landscape.

Recommendations for addressing hate and discrimination in arts and cultural policy

In March, 2024, we published an Open Letter calling on cultural political leaders to adopt rights-based policies that address discrimination – such as antisemitism, Islamophobia, and racism— while protecting artistic freedom. We emphasize equal recognition of all discrimination forms and legal safeguards against censorship. Central to this is the active inclusion of marginalized voices in shaping funding, awareness, and accountability for a more just and equitable arts sector.

A study grounded in lived experiences – documenting systemic barriers and amplifying racialized and marginalized (RaM) voices in arts and culture.

The UN Study is a nationwide analysis of structural barriers in Germany’s arts sector, shaped by two years of community-based work. It’s both a record of lived realities and a call to action for an equitable cultural future.

A shared foundation for equity in arts and culture – shaped by dialogue, expertise, and lived experience.

The UN Guideline distills practical recommendations from the 2024 UN Roundtables with racialized and marginalized (RaM) artists and culture workers. It offers tools to build a more equitable and inclusive cultural landscape in Germany.

A shared framework for discrimination-sensitive cultural collaboration in rural areas and marginalized youth settings.

The UN Hospitality Rider brings together practical insights from our 2025 roundtables and UN Labs with racialised and marginalised (RaM) artists, community organisers, as well as cultural and social partners. It offers guidance to foster equity, access, and care in cultural work—both in structurally underserved rural areas and in marginalised social settings involving displaced children and youth.

A digital platform for care, connection, and knowledge-sharing – rooted in racialised and marginalised (RaM) communities.

The UN Cloud is a living archive and peer resource space designed to sustain the knowledge, tools, and relationships we’ve built over the past years. Shaped by and for racialised and marginalised (RaM) communities, it offers practical support for navigating artistic, political and institutional realities – especially in the absence of structural funding. 

Over time, the UN Cloud may also extend to committed institutional allies working toward equity and accountability in the arts. Interested institutions are welcome to reach out.
