Klara Hülskamp, Finance and management assistant

Klara Hülskamp lives and works as a cultural worker and curator in Berlin and Hamburg.

Elisabeth Wolff, intern

Elisabeth Wolff completed her Bachelor’s degree in Law and Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology at the University of Göttingen (DE) in summer 2024. To strengthen her practical knowledge in the field of management, exhibiting and curating, she is now studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Museology at HTW Berlin.

Alongside her studies in Göttingen, she got involved in a local cultural collective and helped organize music events as well as the artistic design of the visual communication. Here she experienced how relevant self-organized cultural work is for political networking among students. For example, the collective’s ticket revenue was used to raise funds for a queer-feminist bar and safer space in Göttingen. At the same time, the collective was confronted with the challenge of dwindling spaces for culture and art. Through these experiences, her interest in the field of art and cultural promotion grew.

In order to better understand the structures of public cultural funding, she completed an internship at the cultural funding consultancy Kreativ Kultur Berlin and supported the preparation of networking events and advisory workshops for Berlin artists. This gave her a deeper insight into the Berlin funding landscape and made her particularly enthusiastic about funding formats dedicated to marginalized groups. Influenced by the cultural anthropological approach of looking at individual stories within their social context, Elisabeth sees her work at Goldrausch as an important contribution to making underrepresented women* artists and their works visible. In the future, she would like to advocate for more accessible structures in the cultural and museum sector, which is why she is looking forward to broadening her perspective in direct exchange with the artists at Goldrausch.
In her free time, Elisabeth enjoys painting and crocheting – preferably for and with friends.
