Create successful ePaper yourself

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 />
