As a festival dedicated to art and digital culture, transmediale is bringing together a diverse community of international artists, researchers, activists and thinkers. As such, transmediale holds a responsibility towards its online and offline communities.
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive festival experience for everyone, free from all forms of harassment and discrimination. We therefore ask you to treat everyone with respect and care and to be mindful of their boundaries. This is understandably meant regardless of any personal attribute such as gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, religion, socio-economic status and background or birthplace.
The use of derogatory language, any form of harassment, racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, queerphobia, classism and all forms of discrimination and oppressive behaviour is not tolerated. What qualifies as such is always determined by the person whose boundaries were crossed.
If you observe or experience an uncomfortable situation at any transmediale event, please approach our info counter team. You can also send a direct message to our telegram @transmediale_team. Alternatively, you may report any incident or submit any feedback at hello[at]transmediale.de.
Reports can be submitted with or without identifying information of the offender. All reports will be treated seriously and responded to promptly, all correspondence will be confidential. No decisions on how to respond to the incident will be made without the consent of the affected person.
We will implement this policy throughout the festival and we expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everyone at all festival venues and festival-related social events – both offline and online. To ensure that this Code of Conduct is enforced across platforms, we have established guidelines on how to enjoy transmediale’s online spaces.
Individuals asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. transmediale reserves the right to (permanently) exclude anyone violating this Code of Conduct without any right to a refund.
We do not always get it right, but we work within our team to provide safer spaces throughout the festival. Your feedback is always most welcome under hello[at]transmediale.de. It helps us learn from incidents or mistakes to make sure they will not happen again.
