Following the motto of the Clišhé Träsh Festival "Cool, diverse and if necessary perverse", we will join artists, curators, initiatives and organizations to address the question of what happens when a group of curators wants to address a diverse audience. Who is this audience anyway? How can curators become allies to those they program for? How can they take a critical look at their own thought patterns and reflect the experiences of different realities of life in an artistic program - also in a humorous way?

kulturen in bewegung is now in its second season practicing the model of the "curatorial forum" - a project of collective curating and reflection, from which the Clišhé Träsh Festival has emerged. In this "Träsh Session" we want to openly reflect and discuss how well or not so well we have succeeded so far in putting collective action into practice. What pitfalls have there been and what can we do better? Can this approach succeed at all in an institutional structure? What experiences have others had in this area of tension?
