Uncertainty is not hidden here. This format embraces hesitation and shares doubts – far away from the endless, tiresome ‘What are you even allowed to say these days?’ debate.

In this series, the “Um…” isn’t something to be trained out of you – it’s actively sought after!

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

Zurich-based artist Fatima Moumouni is continuing her conversation series ‘The New Uncertainty’.! In it, moments of conversation that are allowed to be thoughtful, self-critical and decidedly insecure are brought to the stage – guests and the host are equally unsettled. And then we reflect together in public, because when it comes to progressive discourse – almost by definition – there is still much to think about, beyond the pitiful question of ‘WHAT IS IT ACTUALLY OKAY TO SAY THESE DAYS?
