Open Call – FEAR – LESS – HOPE

FEAR – LESS – HOPE is a traveling exhibition and exchange project organized by Tsvetaeva Centre at the University of Freiburg in collaboration with DELPHI_space (Freiburg) and partner institutions in Armenia, such as HayArt Centre

At the intersection of emotional and philosophical reflection, socio-political analysis, and imagination, the project invites artists and cultural practitioners to reflect on the coexistence of fear and hope in a world shaped by crises, change, transformation, and experiences of both distance and closeness. In harmony or in conflict, FEAR LESS – HOPE is not about optimism or threat alone but about the liminal spaces where one can shift into the other. To fear less is not to deny fear; to hope fearlessly is not to dream blindly. In this fragile in-between space, complex voices emerge that hold the potential to bring us closer together.

The exhibition will open on 10 October 2025 at DELPHI_space in Freiburg and travel to HayArt Centre in Yerevan in February 2026.
