The project The desire for being many not only aims to take stock and highlight the dramatic reactionary-antifeminist developments of recent years, but also to create counter-publics and strengthen alliances of solidarity in the spirit of author, philosopher and activist Ewa Majewska. To this end, artists and cultural workers living mainly in Berlin will participate in the exhibition and the (artistic-discursive) supporting programme with an artistic (activist) contribution based on their often transnational background of experience. The result is a polyphonic, diverse network of positions that serves as a starting point for resistance against Backlash 2.0.

Ambiguity is inherent in travel. Even an itinerary that you think you have decided on all by yourself is chosen by chance from a list of possibilities derived from your personal and company budget, schedule and the times. In some cases, what I thought was a temporary move becomes a safe haven. My choice is thus merely a chance encounter among the possibilities that open up before me. Even the places that I ‘must’ go to, their inevitability is based on the accumulation of many coincidences. There is also an accumulation of coincidences, such as something invisible that inevitably brings me here.

Three exhibitions of the Berlin Israeli-German trans artist Yishay Garbaszv are opening in April in Northern Mitte, dealing with borders, remembrance and anti-fascism.
