The "Aerosol Queens" took place in Babenhausen for the first time in 2022. After the successful "test balloon", the decision to host the Jam this year was made quickly. The fact that the popularity and interest was great, could already be seen last year and the (planned) number of participants increased in just one year by almost three times compared to the previous year. Of course, the question arose again this time: Will there be an Aerosol Queens Jam in 2024? Whereby: The question did not arise, it was "asked" for one (in a positive sense).
The organization up to the realization of this year's jam was a long and rocky road, but in the end it led to the desired result: an all-around harmonious weekend with a great atmosphere with wonderful participants, loyal fans and visitors. There was again great music, extensive catering and a top hotel. Nevertheless, it is now time for reflection. Already now the list of potential participants reaches dimensions that approach the number of participants of the "Mother Jam", "The Dirty Dozen".
So where should we go? What kind of space do we need in the meantime and how can the next edition be financed without having to launch another fundraising campaign?
These are all points that currently do not allow a concrete answer if, when and where a next "Aerosol Queens" Jam can take place. There is a lot to think about now and then we will see. :)
Location und Line Up will follow somewhen later.
But again it's planned to have a jam in the usual tradition; with a good mix of artists, with a small side program, good vibes and a familiar atmosphere.
A dozen artists and the prejudice that sprayers are generally grease artists and you have "The Dirty Dozen" together. With this action we want to show that we and our pictures are anything but dirty, even if our pants, jackets, gloves, fingers and shoes are often covered with paint residue. For many years, graffiti has been part of the cityscape worldwide, and of course also in Frankfurt. Partly commissioned, mostly not, the images and messages on the walls and on the trains polarize. However, this phenomenon hardly ever ends up in public discussions. We try to build bridges and create new perspectives for supporters and opponents. Our approach will certainly not break down all barriers and eliminate prejudices anytime soon. But we hope to be able to give important suggestions.
The first actions took place in Frankfurt am Main, but are not limited to the city. We are happy to paint elsewhere as well. If you think an area in your city needs a new coat of paint and you have or know of an appropriate area that can be designed, just send us an e-mail to: kontakt@dasdreckigedutzend.org .
A registration/application for participation is possible via "Jams/Participation". However, if the number of possible participants has already been reached, the application will be closed, which will be noted on the application page.
