Cyrill Hermann, Sunny Pfalzer
MovingTowardsZero #7: Moving Towards Many
How can art and activism be more than mutual support—and become joint struggles? In the second edition of MovingTowardsZero, climate activist and author Cyrill Hermann and artist Sunny Pfalzer talk about shared motivations, differences that don't have to divide us, and the power of artistic spaces for radical networks. The discussion will focus on strategies between pop culture and realpolitik, fair structures for political-artistic practice, and the question of how we can open up scope for action beyond hegemonic norms. Afterwards, the audience is invited to further develop ideas and jointly draft perspectives.
The bookstore 1002F will present a fine selection of books on site.
MovingTowardsZero is supported by Stadt Zürich Kultur, Pro Helvetia Schweizer Kulturstiftung, Ernst Göhner Stiftung, Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft des Kantons Zürich
Sunny Pfalzer, born in 1991, works with performance, language and poetry, textiles and movement. Whether in the exhibition space or on stage, Sunny's practice is always physical and emotional. Sunny explores the strengths and dangers of performative strategies in activism. Questions about collaborative working processes and friendship are fundamental to Sunny's work. Sunny's work has recently been shown at KW Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, Goethe Institut New York, Tanzquartier Wien, Wiener Festwochen, and Shedhalle Zürich. Sunny combines their artistic work with curatorial and educational practices. Sunny is a visiting professor of fine arts at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
