‘The New Uncertainty’ is an experiment in creating a ‘safe space for uncertainty’. Together with her guests, the Zurich-based artist Fatima Moumouni uses this series to seek out moments of conversation that are honest, reflective, self-critical and, above all, unpretentious. The focus is not on finding the perfect position, but on the willingness to allow oneself to be unsettled, to tolerate contradictions and to think together in public.
For it is precisely in progressive discourses that – almost by definition – there is still much to reflect on, beyond the pitifully reactionary ‘WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE ALLOWED TO SAY ANYMORE?!’, in which the social negotiation of language, identity politics and equality is often trapped.
For the current Love Edition, the focus is on love: as a feeling, as a practice, as a political force, as a driving force for change, and as a canvas for cringe and kitsch.
The theme of this issue: ‘Love’
This issue explores big questions about the nature of love in the world: What exactly is true love? And will it save us all? What does it actually mean to love ‘against society’ – for example, between people who occupy very different positions in society? What does love have to do with access? How much of our private lives do we share in the political sphere? And can we simply enjoy ourselves?
