Series: Strategien zur Unglücksvermeidung

Of course there are the grand, political gestures. But “strategies for avoiding misfortune” are above all concrete practices in social space. A fight waged not on the stage of grand social debates but that rather concerns the immediate living environment. So what everyday practices can be used to pursue the option of acting or not acting?

“Strategies for avoiding misfortune” focuses on a productive attitude that does not abandon the power of a utopia but nevertheless bears feasibility in mind. There is an action between pragmatism and utopia that shapes our everyday life, that creates public spheres and sometimes saves the world a bit.

Divided into various themed walks, the “Walking Conference” strolls around the city and art, looking for and examining “strategies for avoiding misfortune” in talks, lectures and discussions: As a theoretical event that is itself a theoretical strategy.

Starting with a joint lecture to develop the subject, the event then divides up into five walks with different focal topics, converging again at the end with a final panel discussion.
