What is hap­pe­ning today, chan­ges what is about to come tomor­row. Fragilities deter­mi­ne ever­y­day life, resi­li­en­ce is requi­red, lon­gings build a uto­pia of future coexis­tence. What is a norm to some, is an excep­ti­on to others. A sta­te of emer­gen­cy implies that the­re is a cri­sis. Who bene­fits from unsafe con­di­ti­ons? Who does care work? Which pos­si­bi­li­ties of par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on are the­re? Which oppor­tu­nities can be found in tho­se excep­tio­nal sta­tes and how can they be made use of?

The annu­al the­me 2022 takes a look at the cri­ses and oppor­tu­nities of our time. After two years of pan­de­mic, and in the face of nume­rous poli­ti­cal, glo­bal con­flicts as well as the ongo­ing cli­ma­te cri­sis we would like to grant visi­bi­li­ty to the dis­so­nan­ces of our time. We belie­ve that, abo­ve all, cri­ses can be over­co­me through mutu­al exchan­ge. For this rea­son, this year we are focu­sing on pro­jects with under­stan­ding, par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on and media­ti­on at their core. We cor­di­al­ly invi­te you to be visi­tors and par­ti­ci­pants of dif­fe­rent for­mats such as exhi­bi­ti­ons, scree­nings, lec­tures, dis­cus­sions and workshops
