What is care, if turned away from the customers, back to the providers themselves? 
The project departs from the extremely violent cliché images that are projected on especially Thai and Filipina women and queer bodies. Some of us have been asked »are you married to a German guy? « during our visa application, some have been called »women from the catalogue«, some »prostitute«, some »maids«. These racist words triggered us, collective un.thai.tled, to dig deeper into such histories and, unfortunately, the realities of our »sisters and aunties«. A research grant by Akademie der Künste in 2022 therefore allows us to continue our trajectory from previous engagement with the Thai community in Preußenpark (»Thai Park«, Berlin). The result is the exhibition and programme IN NOBODY’S SERVICE, as part of the POLY programme of Galerie Wedding, focusing on a multidisciplinary polysemic approach to history writing, labour, love, and care in contemporary arts practice. 
Migration histories from Thailand and Philippines to the West have been shaped by American influences and colonisation in the region and entangled the white colonisers’ military bases and their desires with the conditions of gendered migration after. With West Germany’s parallel interests in tourism and developing labour exchanges – of sex, care and the reproductive industry, it gave birth to, for example, the marriage agencies in Berlin (that linked husband and wife together), or cheap maid agencies across developing countries, the brothels and massage salons in Frankfurt am Main and Hamburg. Here our bodies have been rendered to mere »providers« – resulting in questions like the ones posed at the visa application centre.
Are we »that kind of woman«?
At the same time, we also recognise that these oppressive spaces can be subverted into places of care, comfort, and knowledge. This project aims to allow such a past now entangled in our present to be our material for artistic collaboration with our »sisters and aunties«. Highlighting the non-biological kinship and relationality, we attempt to focus on the proximity of common struggles and empathy that arose. De-stigmatizing this service sector (including sexwork) and its negative connotations on us, we take this as a chance to reclaim our rights to healing and temporal liberation.
When »that kind« and »this kind« come together, then we are unbeatable.
Via the intersection of class, gender, sexuality, and – if we may say – dreams, IN NOBODY’S SERVICE recognises the carved-out realities beyond the realms of their white husbands or social conditions – now available for us, now in nobody’s service.

Museums

The museums on the Berlin Museum Island have their own characteristics. The old art museum houses a large number of German 18th-century painters. The old museum is mainly an Egyptian cultural relics exhibition. The treasure of the town hall is a bust of Niftiti. The bust is the mother of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, the most beautiful queen and first queen of ancient Egypt. Nefertiti means &quot;a beauty is coming&quot; in ancient Egyptian. &zwnj; The new museum in Berlin has a large number of ancient Roman, Greek, Cyprus and other cultural relics. The Paramount Panorama exhibition brings a very good visual experience. What&#39;s better is that in addition to the art museum, the other three museums have Chinese guided tours.
