The ‘Tactizine’ project shows how an inclusion strategy creates ‘eye level’. No unwanted hierarchies are created here, but differences are addressed in such a way that a common medium is created for everyone, whether they read with their fingers or their eyes. ‘Barriered Beginnings’ is an urgent reminder not to lose sight of the need for cross-border attention to the concerns of the Roma in Slovakia. Data and facts make the responsibility of so many people visible. The unheard is perceived all the more clearly. ‘Your Club Is Not My Club’ deals with the conditionalities of club culture. Clubs as nocturnal infrastructures apply mechanisms of exclusion and at the same time open up urban spaces that allow for diversity and vulnerability. The potential of this contradiction is explored. In a city of the many understood in this way, life is better for everyone.
