On September 12th, 2021, our first solidarity event will take place in cooperation with the human rights organization All Out. We don’t only want to bring the social value of cultural locations such as Renate closer to the public, we also want to inform the public about the massive setbacks the queer community has to suffer. If you feel uncomfortable or want to share any (negative) experiences please contact us: family, friends and guests, Renate is a place for acceptance and diversity, and a safer space for all. Ultimately, we want to be there for our guests, in every one of those moments when urgent action is needed. We aspire to see this process of re-education reflected at all levels - from our programming to our guest experience and door policy through to our internal structures. Responsible staff are working to increase awareness for diversity and equality issues in the long term. Our team undergoes regular anti-discrimination workshops and has developed guidelines for dealing with substance abuse or aggressive behavior. By taking concrete action, we want to protect the club as a space where everyone feels safer, respected and welcome.
That is why we want to continually reexamine our own positions and privileges and create an understanding and awareness for internalized and structural discrimination. From our own experience we know that things don’t always work out the way we want them to. Whilst we appreciate that we have no ready-made solutions, the team here at Renate are dedicated and are working on ourselves. We believe that club culture should not reproduce the discriminating structures of our society, but instead create an environment to counter and combat. Renate is committed to accommodating autonomy and creating an environment built around mutual respect.
Clubbing experiences should not put guests in danger or create disadvantages.
