What does fear do to us? Fear is an intense feeling that we all know. It can warn us, shake us awake or paralyse us. With the Pavilion of Fear, which is travelling through Chemnitz in the run-up to the exhibition Edvard Munch. Angst, which is travelling through Chemnitz in the run-up to the exhibition, we are creating a special place of encounter. We cordially invite anyone who is curious to discover new perspectives and engage in dialogue with other people about this powerful emotion.

A diverse programme is offered with various participants from the fields of culture, music, art, sport and theatre. From making music together and creative writing to exercise programmes - there is something for everyone! Fear is not only seen as something negative here, but also as a force that can drive us to tackle change and grow personally.

On the weekend of Friday, 25th of July to Sunday, 27th of July, the pavilion will be open from 3pm to 7pm under the banner of climate anxiety. During the Begehungen art festival, visitors will have the opportunity to deal specifically with climate anxiety and their own feelings about the climate. Art therapy students from the Dresden University of Fine Arts will be offering open studios and exciting workshops.

On Friday, 1st of August AND Sunday, 3rd of August , the pavilion will be open from 3 to 7 p.m. under the banner of climate anxiety. Art therapy students from the Dresden University of Fine Arts will be offering open studios and exciting workshops.
