the art of a culture of hope

Artists J&J (Jessica Huber & James Leadbitter aka the vacuum cleaner) refuse to be governed by the politics of fear. Under the title The art of a culture of hope, through a process of performances and workshops, they are igniting long-term discussions, exchanges and actions about our system of values, our fears, hopes and our collective future.

In Lausanne, J&J invite you to Tender Provocations of Hope and Fear, an evening of sharing, performances, and presentations about experiences of fear and/or hope. Ever evolving in each location, we have invited a line-up of international artists to share their experiences: Kim Noble, Boris Nitikin, Marie-Caroline Hominal and the vacuum cleaner. The evening will connect themes large and small, public and personal, the individual struggles with the bigger stories that alarm the world, and ask, “How can we create a space for potential, a space for hope?
