There are beautiful things happening<br />

due to the collaborations, partnerships,<br />

ideas and new projects that arise from the<br />

conversations started in these pages and<br />

through the other <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Door</strong> initiatives,<br />

such as the podcast, which has already<br />

celebrated over 50 interviews, or the<br />

phonotheque, which counts with the<br />

voices of over 100 poets around the world...<br />

all of this, including the digital version of<br />

the magazine, are free to ensure access to<br />

information wherever you are in the planet.<br />

However, these projects are indeed time<br />

consuming and not free, especially since<br />

it is necessary to pay to remove the ads so<br />

that you are not distracted and can have<br />

a fully immersive artistic experience when<br />

enjoying this magazine and the RED DOOR<br />

website.<br />

As you might have imagined, COVID has<br />

not made it easier for this independent<br />

collection of projects to survive. The doors<br />

of the gallery have to close every time<br />

a lockdown is announced, postponing<br />

shows and limiting direct access to our<br />

audience. The rent of the gallery still<br />

needs to be paid, as all the other bills, and<br />

it is important to keep <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Door</strong> going so<br />

that there are these platforms and spaces<br />

available while we wait for better times but<br />

also once it is time to dance again.<br />

There’s costs for hosting and printing and<br />

domains and publishing... and for now,<br />

ONE certain way to show your support<br />

directly: PATREON.<br />

WIth a membership starting at 3 EU a<br />

month, yo too can ensure these projects<br />

keep existing. What’s more, now Patreon<br />

allows for one yearly payment, if you’re<br />

not into monthly fees. So, what do ya say?<br />

Wanna help keep making this happen?<br />

Patreon also allows for a one-time donation<br />

which will make you a patreon for a year,<br />

and you get to decide the amount.<br />

Eternal gratitude to the current patrons of<br />

this magazine: Valeria Schapira, Valentina<br />

Upegui, Juan Pablo Salas, Ulla Hansen,<br />

Michael Favala Goldman, Tamar Tkabladze,<br />
