From The YES! Association

Dear Transmission.

We would like to contribute to Moot Points and the project The Name Of This Association Shall Be Transmission by sending you our Equal Opportunities Agreement to be considered at one of your board meetings.

Below you can read this Agreement that the YES! Association proposed to set up between YES! and the institutions hosting the exhibition Art Feminism - Strategies and effects in Sweden from the 1970s up to the present day; Dunkers Kulturhus, Liljevalchs konsthall, Hälsinglands Museum, Gothenburg’s Museum and Riksutställningar (Swedish Travelling Exhibitions). The Agreement was made public at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg, 15th of October 2005. It was through the declaration of this agreement that the YES! Association was founded.

The YES! Association is an association that aims to create favorable conditions for art workers whose practices and activities contribute to the overthrowing of male supremacy, ethnic supremacy and of hierarchies connected to physical and mental ability, sexuality and class. Our goal is to overthrow the ruling system of patriarchal,racist and capitalist power structures by putting into practice a structural redistribution of the access to financial resources, space and time within the art scene.
