Listened to the weather forecast again – and still got wet? In these times, you can no longer rely on anything. Hardly on pension insurance and election forecasts, less often on the common sense of our fellow human beings, and certainly not on the promise of a better future. The weather situation: a „new general uncertainty“.
One antidote perhaps: start talking about it! The Unsecurity Conference this autumn is your basic training camp in dealing with uncertainties, ambiguities and unpredictability of all kinds! The unsec is pure invention – but becomes reality when we work together. In order to learn strategies from each other on how to better navigate the fickle world.
Just drop by our unsicherheitsSALON or our unsicherheitsSESSIONS and exchange ideas: What insecurities are there, how do they differ? Who produces them, who benefits from them? What language(s) do we find for them? And what ancestral wisdom and everyday tricks would be a remedy? Show your wonders and wounds!
Cyberpunk was yesterday, Solarpunk is a long time coming. So Weatherpunk now!

unsicherheitsSESSIONS
On the Bockenheim campus at the Implantieren festival
Senckenberganlage 31

unsec Keynote Lecture: Better reports
– urgently wanted!
Where will it all end? The general uncertainty plays into the hands of right-wing narratives, with tangible consequences. What was that again about cyberpunk and solarpunk? Can ChatGPT help us escape our fate? And what does the weather report have to do with all this? The uncertaintyREPORT is a raging thunderstorm of information searching the limits and possibilities of the collective expression of our current fears of uncertainty.
01 Dezember 2:00 – approx. 16:30 p.m. // unplanableSUMMIT
The final summit of the unsec (ice)mountain: Everyone’s talking about the weather – we too?
With Trump’s re-election and the end of the traffic light coalition, the world has become even more uncertain. The unsec is therefore also changing its un-plans and invites you to a celebration of the in-between in the increasingly cold weather. Advent, Advent, the little light is burning: on the ruins of the university and outside the door, at least we still have a bonfire to gather round. Dress warmly and bring your unfulfilled promises and expectations for the future! We’ll provide mulled wine, stick bread and … warming Weatherpunk conversations, of course!

Hello Halloween! For the celebration of spooky uncertainty, we are selling off our entire stock of sweets in the final unsicherheitsexchange. Everything has to go – and you to the SALON! We only have one last question for you: sweet or sour?

A production by helfersyndrom/Popp & the Weatherpunks (featuring: Nicole Horny) in collaboration with the Implantieren Festival Frankfurt and SCAPE° Offenbach. Supported by Kulturamt Frankfurt and the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art and Culture.
helfersyndrom is a theatrical aid organisation that is open in terms of its personnel. Its plays are linked to social knowledge, assembly and action/negotiation systems and usually aim towards a more beautiful future in which „man is a helper to man“. If everyone thinks of themselves, has everyone been thought of? Nope. Unconditional helper syndrome for all!
helfersyndrom received the 1st „Innovation Award Socioculture“ from the Socioculture Fund in 2022 on the topic of Sustainability for the „Climate Parliament of All Beings and Non-Beings“.
