The solidarity and photo project NAKED SOLIDARITY was founded in early 2021 by the Berliner Mascha Leskien to show solidarity with people who are affected by discrimination. With the nude calendar project and related exhibitions NAKED SOLIDARITY wants to offer a platform to people who often don't get one in our society. The artistic approach was chosen to spread radical feminist views in society and make them accessible to all - including people who have little or no prior knowledge of feminist issues. The work of NAKED SOLIDARITY includes people who are subject to discrimination. The project financially supports organizations that advocate for these very people and provide them with a safer space. At the same time, a space is created within the work itself to give the people involved a sense of empowerment, security and entitlement. 

NAKED SOLIDARITY wants to show active (naked) solidarity, offer a platform to marginalized individuals and contribute to the abolition of patriarchal, racist structures.

NAKED SOLIDARITY wants to establish itself as a solidarity project, which brings people together and optimally support other projects that do active aid work.
