Fair point. Ideally there is a public collaboration of (art) institutions that helps resolving questions like that first on an international level and then locally. I recently heard this was actually done well in Imagination Land’s city of Uto’pia! (/s as this is fairly hard due to the state of the world as is…)

Ah gotcha yeah that makes a lot of sense! I hope that kind of bigotry dies out again soon but doesn’t look like its slowing down. I hope you can feel safe and be more like your true self now.

Yeah I know but didn’t want to assume. Some people have family roots for example. I do work with US colleagues and not all feel the need to move countries for example, which I find very interesting because it sure looks like a shit show to me. I’m not based in the US myself.

Out of interest, since moving continents is no small matter in my opinion; what makes that, and making a third in terms of salary vs the US, a worthwhile trade-off?
