Flinn Works talks with participating artists about the White Money project. White money flows from the arts funding bodies in Europe. It funds artists in the Global South or commissions work from artists in the Global South to be presented in the Global North. White money therefore shapes or reinforces inequalities and re-iterates racist and neo-colonial structures. Flinn Works, like all art professionals who work across the invisible borders of Global North and Global South are deeply entangled in this structure. With a group of six artists and curators from different parts of the world, the project sheds light on some hidden aspects of white money.
WITH Flinn Works + Team
A production by Flinn Works in co-production with SOPHIENSAELE. Supported by Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe. In cooperation with the Institute for Cultural Policy at the University of Hildesheim. Media partner: taz.die tageszeitung.
Flinn Works (led by Sophia Stepf and Lisa Stepf) engages with issues of globalization, focusing on postcolonial and feminist questions. The performances and installations are based on extensive research and draw on the personal perspectives of international participants to create a multi-perspective dramaturgy. At the intersection of ethnology and documentary formats, the productions evolve their form as a consequence of the content and the talents of the team involved. Flinn Works has received three META Awards in New Delhi, the Förderpreis of the Zürcher Kantonalbank, the Tabori Award of the Fonds Darstellende Künste, and the award of the International Theatre Institute Germany. The projects are presented in Germany, Switzerland, India, and Tanzania.
