If not now, then when? Bring your queer visions to the revival of social gatherings, after the pandemic messed up our social co-existence! At the Ruhrtriennale 2021, twelve teens built houses and moved into them as part of the festival. In a lively installation, they drew the attention of festival visitors to women’s experiences of discrimination and their social demands. The second edition of TEENS IN THE HOUSE draws upon these themes. In the Ruhrtriennale 2022, we will engage with numerous productions and artists who deal with social visions and processes of change – especially with the music theatre production HAUS and the queer-feminist perspectives of the production team – and in creative workshops, we will build our own utopia for a co-existence beyond standardised gender images, identity attributions, role distribution, etc. For this purpose, we will visit performances, productions and exhibitions, meet artists and exchange ideas with experts and activists.

New participants wanted and welcome for the second edition of the residence!
