Sweet & Tender Collaborations
Attempts of Togetherness
Are we in this together? In times of uncertainty, the question of togetherness is central. The performance installation Attempts of Togetherness is an initiative of Sweet & Tender Collaborations, a collective of international artists founded in 2006. Over the years they have organised gatherings in countries such as France, Portugal, Iran, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland. Now, after more than a decade, the artists from Sweet&Tender are reuniting in Hamburg at the invitation of Hamburg-based choreographer Jenny Beyer to explore new forms of collaboration. Attempts of Togetherness’ is a polyphonic gathering and an invitation to Kampnagel audiences to practice community in current times, creating a space to re-imagine how we relate, listen and discover ourselves in a movement of negotiation. Through four evenings of performative installations, these artists will translate their experiences into a collective narrative, questioning the intersections of their lives and their art. Visitors are invited to participate in this practice of being together – sharing space, time and vulnerability. Join us as we embrace the urgent need for connection in these unstable times
