What to expect

Hello Renee,

Great to hear back from you and to answer your last question first, we have received one video of Ngani, but there should have been others, too. Now it seems there isn’t any other, so at least we have what we got from her so far. We have watched it before and can send you a copy if you want to, so you can watch it and/or use it for funding opportunities.

Now to your previous email, we are glad you were able to let our idea sink in with you. We had to do the same, it sounds very simple yet is very complex and does require a lot of commitment on our side. – But that’s also what it makes so challenging and exciting for us, we are curious to see how the relationships will change and everyone’s perception with it and what that results in. Our work is all about trust and belief, so not owning a space, we need to find other ways to show our commitment. – and change will happen.
This might be tricky to understand for funding foundations, but we should try. If they are supportive of it, then that’s great and it shows us that someone else is willing to make a commitment, too. It is late already, but we would need funding to do this and to come out to provide continuity.

We haven’t spoken to anyone else besides you, since you are our main contact person for this project and we trust your instincts and opinions. So we are interested in hearing your thoughts first.
But we are curious to hear how the URA ( Hello Lena;) ) could see itself in this or in which way the URA could provide support for the project? There are many areas we could see, but without knowing what is possible, what each Institution (URA, Kingsley, OPA) sees as their strength we don’t want to propose anything but see what is available to us, to use it appropriately.

We are very much looking forward to hearing  what you both think,

Best wishes,

Franzy & Hajoe
