German-Armenian exchange and exhibition project
Open to artists and cultural practitioners of all disciplines
Our relationship to our personal and collective experiences swings like a pendulum between fear and hope. This dynamic rarely rests — fear and hope coexist, often in tension, yet together they shape how we respond to the world, relate to it, and act within it. They form the foundation of our emotional reality, influence our decisions, and shape the stories we tell about ourselves and others.
In a world marked by fracture and proximity, FEAR – LESS – HOPE explores how fear and hope move through bodies, across borders, and within artistic practices. The engagement with personal transformation, collective experience, or social uncertainty can open new expressive forms — beyond fixed meanings or clear-cut answers. The aim is not to erase differences but to enable exchange and empathy across distances — without flattening complexity or silencing individual perspectives.
At the intersection of emotional and philosophical reflection, socio-political analysis, and imagination, the project invites artists and cultural practitioners to reflect on the coexistence of fear and hope in a world shaped by crises, change, transformation, and experiences of both distance and closeness. In harmony or in conflict, FEAR– LESS – HOPE is not about optimism or threat alone but about the liminal spaces where one can shift into the other. To fear less is not to deny fear; tohope fearlessly is not to dream blindly. In this fragile in-between space, complex voices emerge that hold the potential to bring us closer together.
FEAR – LESS – HOPE is a traveling exhibition and exchange project organized by Zwetajewa-Zentrum at theUniversity of Freiburg in collaboration with DELPHI_space (Freiburg) and partner institutions in Armenia, such as HayArt Centre (Yerevan).
The exhibition will open on 10 October 2025 at DELPHI_space in Freiburg and travel to HayArt Centre in Yerevan in February 2026.
We seek artists, performers, researchers, writers, thinkers, and educators based and/or from Germany and Armenia who engage with these themes — whether through autobiographical or collective narratives, socio-political or philosophical reflections, or aesthetic and experimental approaches. We are especially interested in works involving video, sound, performance, interventions, workshops, readings, and participatory formats.
