How can we overcome a fear of strangers or of our (own) future? From 2018-2020, #nofear, a project conducted by the Young Triennial with the support of PACT, the WerkStadt and the Arbeitskreis Kunst und Soziales (art and social engagement working group), will centre around questions of fear. In the first episode, 40 young people from Portugal, Ghana, Togo, Poland, Albania, Syria, Afghanistan, Bulgaria, Germany and Turkey, who all live in the Ruhr District, will examine the all-pervading subject of sexuality. Their stage presentation at PACT is a performative documentation of their experiences which draws on encounters, conversations, interviews and discussions that they have initiated with local people in Essen-Katernberg.
