ABOUT THE CONVENTION
Dear Fear Convention visitors to be! Welcome to our convention, where we will display and demonstrate the newest findings from our private fear research!
The organizers of the Convention have studied fear in their own shy bodies and in society for a year. In November we will open the doors to Fear Convention to share our methods * in becoming aware of and dealing with fear.
We welcome you to take part in different activities from our numerous stations in the Convention area, through which you will have the opportunity to study your fears. You may also follow scientific and pseudo-scientific demonstrations where fear is deconstructed and broken down to the smallest atom!
No questions are too big or too small for Fear Convention! Are you afraid that you will stop loving your partner someday? Are you afraid that a contagious epidemic will break out? Are you terrified of responding to a message or worried that the world will end?
Visit Fear Convention! Become acutely aware of your fears! When a fear is transformed, we are one step closer to a better world.
//Fear Convention is a movement that works with sensitive materials. That is why both the place and our methods are secret until you visit the Convention.//
*No forced participation will be implemented on Convention guests.
