Increasingly, culture is supported as a purveyor of economic development and a tool to remediate social inequality. This trend has produced a contradiction for art whereby accountability and visibility jar with self-organisation and open-ended processes of valorisation.

Are you scared? What are you scared of? How does fear immobilize or control you and the world around you? What does fear cost? Where does personal fear intersect with larger societal and political messages of terror? These are some of the questions we are interested in exploring through Terror?, a networking experiment investigating how people all over the world experience fear and how it affects our lives.

Where are we now – five years from September 11, 2001? How much do we really know about what people around the world are experiencing? What kind of a here and now do we have? And, what kind of future? How do we actively and hopefully break through media distortions, manufactured information and a seemingly constant war agenda?
