Interstice
At the moment, a great deal is no longer as it was. Some things have not yet begun. We find ourselves in between – between what no longer holds and what is not yet here.
Interstices are uncomfortable. We want to get through them quickly, preferably without looking. But in-betweens are also places of possibility, if we do not merely pass through them but linger within them. If we ask ourselves what is not yet over, what we are allowed to hold on to. And what has not yet begun, what we can reach for.
The "Zwischenraum" Gallery" is an attempt to shape this space together – not to skip over it. Three evenings, three questions, an open discussion. For people who find themselves in limbo and yet carry on regardless.
We’ll start with
What keeps you going – and what’s just a pretence?
Confidence is not a state of mind. It is a decision – and one that must be made under enormous pressure right now. But what is the difference between genuine resilience and what we tell ourselves so that we can carry on?
We want to start a conversation with you about how to stay optimistic in these times. Dialogic approaches, generative imagery, guerrilla gardening within organisations, Appreciative Inquiry – all of these can form part of it. How do you stay optimistic? When do you find it particularly difficult? What would you like to say that is rarely spoken of?
This evening is based on the concept of the salon as a space for socialising, good conversation and inspiration.
