The Butterfly Effect—Culture, Solidarity, and Collective Redistribution
A discussion about museums as spaces of social solidarity: How is cultural participation shaped for disadvantaged children and youth? What programs are currently available, and to what extent does barrier-free and equitable access to art and culture later translate into opportunities in the job market? Does the cultural sector still have a problem with classism, and if so, what initiatives, projects, and practices are opening up new forms of participation, solidarity, and collective shaping?
Nicky Böhm is the director of Hejmo and vice chair of lilipad, two Berlin-based nonprofit organizations that create spaces for encounter, cultural participation, and self-empowerment for migrant and refugee communities. In her work, she places particular emphasis on low-threshold, creative storytelling formats that promote networking, education, and cultural exchange.
