In the event series ›Art & Encounters‹, the seven institutions united in the Alliance of International Production Houses put their strategies of participation in a diverse society to debate. PACT Zollverein invites you to two days of art, exchange, and companionship in Essen-Katernberg.
The Friday kicks off with an open space for conversation, coffee and reflection. In the evening, starting at 6:30 p.m., PACT opens its foyer to the public for the House of Namus: a community that celebrates queer culture, art and diversity, founded in 2023 in the Ruhr District by Prince Emrah and Interkultur Ruhr (RVR). From henna to reading coffee grounds to the bazaar-style surroundings, the focus is on exchange, change and celebration.
There follows a concert by BaBa ZuLa, the legendary psychedelic Anatolian band from Istanbul, which will unleash its intoxicating mix of dub, saz and ecstasy. An evening full of glamour, resistance and rhythm – between Istanbul and Katernberg, past and future.
›Kunst & Begegnungen‹ ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe im Rahmen des Bündnisses internationaler Produktionshäuser, gefördert durch den Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.
