Shifting Grounds – IN COMMON

›Shifting Grounds – IN COMMON‹ focuses on collective resilience, social imagination, and alternative practices for the future – in times of growing inequality and authoritarian attacks on democratic achievements.

On the grounds of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex and at PACT, spaces are emerging where artistic practice functions as social technology: situational, process-oriented, and physical. They create connections – between people, with the environment, and with forms of knowledge that challenge Western logics of progress or exploitation. In addition to gatherings over communal meals, guided tours through slag heap, sound installations, and a concert by the Berlin choral project A Song For You, the stage will of course also feature artistic works: Among others, Radouan Mriziga / A7LA5 will present the performance ›Magec / the Desert‹, which reimagines the relationship between humanity and nature.

Further details about the program will follow shortly.
