United in Grief
Ein Festival in Togetherness and/in Mourning
"Everybody grieves differently," sings Kendrick Lamar in his song "United in Grief.“
The fragility of all life, losses and irreversible damage we inflict on nature could be reasons to grieve. And yet, mourning is not something that has a recognized place in our society. What rituals, what spaces can we create through and with art? During this 4-day festival we will reflect, narrate, pause, surrender and celebrate (about) mourning together with and through artistic installations, performances, video works, critical interventions, rounds of talks. Because those who mourn are first very much alive. Our festival deals with different forms of grief: Death, Heartbreak, geopolitical trauma, Postcolonial grief, dying of our planet etc.
