«The New Uncertainty – Love Edition»
Fatima Moumouni mit ஸ்வஸ்தி சிவசண்முகநாத சர்மா / Swassthi Sivasanmukanatha Sarma

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?

Our guest this time: ஸ்வஸ்தி சிவசண்முகநாத சர்மா / Swassthi Sivasanmukanatha Sarma

She was born in Zurich and grew up as the child of Tamil refugees. She writes, performs on stage, curates discussion series and, above all, sees herself as an intersectional activist. In her work, she combines her sociological understanding of the world with activist and artistic practice. Her writing and political activism are both direct and personal. She writes, organises, teaches and speaks on topics such as chronic illness, the resistance practices of the Tamil diaspora, intersectional feminism, accessibility and queerness – always with a focus on how power structures shape and transform everyday life.
