In 2021, Tender Absence celebrates Glokalität – with a focus on innovative formats that explore digital connections and experiences while also examining the local context, beyond one's current physical location, and its global relationships.
The concept of "Glocality" is at the center of attention here: it involves approaches that incorporate local aspects or communities while also operating within a global context. Tender Absence connects these local peculiarities and enables networking through the platform.
Tender Absence 2021 experiments with different curation and participation formats. It opens up a versatile space for experiments, breaking boundaries with innovative game arrangements, performances, or discussion series, allowing for different perspectives and intimate moments in the virtual space.
Tender Absence presents three artistic program series (lone|some, be here|be yond, show|real) from June to December 2021 for the virtual and public space. In addition, there will be regular discussion series (tender talks).
The artistic formats:
lone|some (Videocall/VR): short, novel performances in digital space by Ira Brand, Josh Coates, Rayén Mitrovich & Francisco González, which focus on personal encounters between individual visitors and performers.
be here|be yond (walk/augmented reality): Three local juries from different regions of the world will each select a team to develop short playful concepts for 1-3 people outdoors. Including: Eman Hussein, Fast Familiar and David Paredes & Emerson Caicedo.
show|real (online performance): show | real explores digital or hybrid event formats that focus on glocality. With: Kritik Alan, Siegfried Saerberg, Tanya Sahin & Danusch Merrikh-Yazdi and Gabi Linde & Katherine Leung
#tender|talks (series of talks): Globally, we invite people to talk about a topic related to the artistic series in 20-minute conversations in their specific, local context. Georg Klüver-Pfandtner talks with guests Mena El Shazly and Ana more to follow.
On August 26, 1984, seven people lost their lives in a racist arson attack in Duisburg-Wanheimerort: Ferdane Satır, Zeliha Turhan, Rasim Turhan, Tarık Turhan, Çiğdem Satır, Ümit Satır, and Songül Satır. The survivors and relatives were left alone for decades—politicians, authorities, and the public did not talk about racism.
It was not until 2018 that they founded the Duisburg 1984 initiative, which has since combined education, remembrance work, and solidarity struggles with other victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence.

Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: September 15 and 29, 12am–5pm (two-day training course)
