One of the Most Exciting Venues for Contemporary Art, Performance, and Discourse Twenty

PACT Zollverein is an international venue for contemporary art, performance, and research located in the former changing house of the Zollverein coal mine industrial complex in Essen, Germany, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. PACT produces and co-produces new dance and performance works, presents regular guest performances, runs an international residency program, and hosts various exchange and work platforms for regional and international artists and scholars. Since its founding in 2002, PACT Zollverein has become a crucible for innovative developments in the fields of dance, performance, theater, media, and visual arts at the intersection of science, technology, and society.

The three-part publication series Radical Proximity is published on the occasion of PACT's 20th anniversary and summarizes the most important impulses in PACT's transdisciplinary program along the themes agency, collaboration, and knowledge diversity. Thus, the series is not a retrospective of the past 20 years of PACT's program, but a forward-looking condensation of the spaces for thought and action this unique place has produced. The volumes combine interviews, essays, and visual contributions from pioneers in academia, activism, art, and philosophy, who address the pressing issues of our time in inspiring ways.
