NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN

In the organizer's words:

Listening Session & Public Dialogue
With ANNA ZETT and guests

In her film Es gibt keine Angst, Anna Zett deals with experiences of fear and resistance in the GDR. The exhibition project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN was created on this basis. It includes an immersive spatial installation and participatory formats that enable the audience to perceive their own physical and associative experience through discussion formats and improvisation.

Anna Zett's project NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN explores emotional and sensory levels of self-organization in groups and societies. The New Forum was a grassroots democratic oppositional movement that played an active role in shaping the revolutionary end of the GDR. Based on Anna Zett's research in the archive of the GDR opposition, from which her film Es gibt keine Angst emerged, her work is dedicated to the physical activation of (post-)socialist experiences that were cut off from the present. Following on from this, NEUES FORUM DER NERVEN opens up the physical space for current experiences of fear and control in a polarized political situation.
