Tender Absence 2023 marked a week of exchange and (un)learning: 13 artists came together in the Glocal Class residency program to discuss, learn from each other, and work together.
In February 2023, Tender Absence invited 13 artists from Peru, Tasmania, Chile, the USA, Venezuela, Iran, Germany, Russia, Belgium, Uganda, Nigeria, and India to work and reflect together on "Glocality" in the specially created Tender Absence time zone. The "Glocal Class" focused on working with local realities and environments, using the digital space as a platform for artistic experiments. The artists explored the following questions: How can we produce beyond streams and Zoom meetings? Who are the people we address on the internet? How can we globally convey our local realities without instrumentalizing them?
The results were presented in a 24-hour tour. In the collaborative, hybrid exhibition, the artists showcase their works, give lectures, and invite the audience to navigate through the immersive environment with their own avatar.
Further information on the program (tour) can be found on the Tender Absence website.
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)
