OUR TEAM
We are: women, trans, cis, drag, tunte, non-binary, BDSM, bisexual, pansexual, migrant, femme, butch, femdom, hetera, body positive, carry experiences of violence within us. And we are so much more. We share the experience of living in political systems where our ways and being are threatened. We are aware of our privileges. We are society-affirming and/or society-changing.
​
Our practices are: Feminine, collectivist (each rooted in herself, but better together), in solidarity with our diversities. We want to feel and think other needs - empathy, togetherness are important to us. We stand for acceptance, not tolerance. Our experiences make us a colorful think tank.
We are an intersectional team. We understand diversity as a resource.
We have decided to use gender-appropriate language (gendering) in German texts with the : (colon) to enable reading devices for visually impaired people to read out the gender gap.
We gender! This means that we stand for gender-equitable and inclusive language in German.
Exhibition texts and essential homepage texts will also appear in simple language.
We also try to make exhibition texts, publications, and essential homepage texts accessible in other languages such as Spanish, Turkish, Polish and English.
We try to take accessibility criteria into account as far as possible when choosing the premises for exhibitions and the museum.
We are a part of St. Pauli, so our museum should be accessible to all: Migrants, precarious people, workers, people with disabilities, people with refugee experiences, artists, students, all genders.
We are intersectional because St. Pauli is intersectional.
