For the opening of FEELS LIKE: we invited Şeyda Kurt to reflect on the practice of a community of solidarity in front of the audience, based on her book: How can such a community be conceived or ignited from the position of a solo speaker? And what might the departure into a new emotional order look like, in which supposed certainties are exchanged for negotiations? Where we overcome fear by turning to each other?

For Şeyda Kurt, relationships conceived as friendship and partnership are spaces of shared experiences and convictions. Spaces in which we can remain different and allow strangeness despite all our connectedness. They then become the nucleus of a pluralistic social attitude. RADICAL TENDERNESS, however, also means challenging asymmetries, violence and power relations within and outside relationships in order to change the course of things.

“The world does not get better just by having fair and tender relationships in my immediate environment. It has to be about solidarity with other people that goes beyond my partnerships or friendships.ˮ
