In 2022 we founded a forum with four experts* from the independent and institutionalized cultural sector. Together with Asma Aiad, Petz Haselmayer, Ivana Marjanović, Negin Rezaie and the team of kulturen in bewegung, the existing programs were evaluated and new ones were developed. From 2025, the Forum for Collective Curating will have a new team: Ava Binta Giallo, Rojin Sharafi, Cleidy Acevedo and, from the previous forum, Petz Haselmayer.
The forum is intended to initiate a process of self-reflection, open up new perspectives, and facilitate productive new programs, content, and mediation processes in connection with our projects. Establishing a forum also encourages and demands the opening up of the curatorial process, moving the activities of kulturen in bewegung more in the direction of a collaborative way of working, which is what cultural practice should strive for.
Together with the Forum, the Clišhe Träsh Festival and the "curated by" or warm-up and cool-down events were created as the annual program for Clišhe Träsh 2023. The discursive format of the Träsh Session serves as a basis for the development of guidelines for participatory curating.
