Juli Reinartz, project management

/ Team Mitglied
Juli, eine weiblich gelesene Person, Anfang 40, mit dunkelblonden langen Haaren und heller Haut sitzt auf einem lila Sitzsack und schaut frontal in die Kamera. Sie trägt ein weißes, kastig-geschnittenes Hemd mit kurzen Ärmeln und eine helle Jeans, ihre Ellenbogen stützen sich auf die Oberschenkel, die Hände kreuzen sich zwischen den Beinen. Rund um sie herum wachsen Pflanzen, rechts stehen Gräser mit kleinen weißen Blüten, links steht ein Baum, der mit einer Rankpflanze überwachsen ist. english: Juli, a female read person in her early 40s with long dark blonde hair and light-coloured skin, sits on a purple beanbag and looks directly into the camera. She is wearing a white, boxy-cut shirt with short sleeves and light-coloured jeans, her elbows resting on her thighs, her hands crossed between her legs. Plants are growing all around her, grasses with small white flowers on the right and a tree overgrown with vines on the left.

Juli Reinartz (she/her) is since July 2024 part of the strategic project management of Making a Difference. She works as a choreographer in Berlin and internationally. Freelancing until 2018, she began to research artistic formats from a chronically ill perspective as part of a doctoral thesis at the University of the Arts in Helsinki in 2019. In addition to her research, Juli shows freelance projects in Germany and Europe, works as a mentor and process facilitator for other artists and teaches at universities such as Glasgow School of Arts, Theater Academy Helsinki, Bauhaus University Weimar, FU Berlin and Ottersberg University of the Arts. 2019 – 2022 she was part of the collective PSR, which designs the Heizhaus’ program at Uferstudios.

What do you associate with Making a Difference?

Making a Difference has given me a lot as an artist in recent years. The project created a space in Berlin where things could be done differently and artistic shifts could be tried out. For me personally, it was a support in continuing to work artistically in a meaningful way. For me, Making a Difference has helped create a spectrum of aesthetics that can and must continue to grow indefinitely. 

What is your vision for Making a Difference?

The aim of Making a Difference is still extremely important: to enable, make visible and support the independent work of disabled, Deaf and chronically ill artists. For the future, two aspects are particularly important to me: focussing on the temporal conditions of artistic production and creating spaces for exchange and collaboration between artists from different perspectives. What does Aesthetics of Access mean as a shared or even collective strategy?
