"Temporary international relocation initiatives (TIRIs) for artists and cultural workers as a form of international solidarity are embedded in a complex context shaped by colonial history and global North-South power dynamics. Money, safety, power and decision-making are on one side – primarily consolidated within the institutions of the Global North – while on the other is an individual asking for protection and support. Given this reality, a just equilibrium based on reciprocity is almost inconceivable. In this report, the authors examine the manifestations of structural inequality, racism, discrimination and injustice in the TIRI ecosystem. They draw on the experiences of relocated artists as well as those of team members within TIRIs and host organisations to examine if TIRIs are currently equipped to identify power asymmetries, injustice, discrimination and racism at individual, institutional and structural levels and to effectively mitigate them. Finally, they develop holistic practical recommendations for greater equity and justice as well as an anti-racist approach for TIRIs and host organisations." (Abstract)
