«The New Uncertainty – Disco Edition»
Fatima Moumouni

Uncertainty is not hidden here: a format seeks out the ‘um,’ shares doubts – far removed from the eternal, annoying ‘WHAT IS STILL ALLOWED?

In this series, the aim is not to train people out of saying ‘um...’ – it is actively sought!

What does a safer space for uncertainty look like? Is that possible on stage?

Zurich artist Fatima Moumouni is finally continuing her series of discussions, ‘The New Uncertainty – Disco Edition’!

In it, moments of conversation that are allowed to be thoughtful, self-critical and decidedly insecure are brought to the stage – guests and moderator are equally unsettled. And then they reflect together publicly, because when it comes to progressive discourse – almost by definition – there is still much to think about, beyond the pitiful WHAT CAN YOU EVEN SAY TODAY?

Save the date

The next edition of ‘Die Neue Unsicherheit – Disco Edition’ will take place on Friday 19 June.
