German term or phrase: Spannungsmomente
Ich habe diese Frage schon gestellt (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1898640), aber viel zu früh geschlossen und Punkte vergeben. Gibt es vielleicht noch Ideen?
Es geht um ein Kunstprojekt mit AsylwerberInnen.
"Multikulturelle und genderthematische Spannungsmomente:
Sichtbarmachen von Privaträumen, der eigenen Identität, des Kulturkreises ist im Rahmen multikultureller Maßnahmen ein schwieriges Unternehmen. Zu berücksichtigen sind hierbei neben den Genderaspekten die verschiedenen Qualitäten und durch Sozialisierung entstandenen Grenzen unterschiedlicher Kulturkreise.
Die Aufgabe in diesem Fall liegt mehr im Akzeptieren von Unterschieden und behutsamen Unterstützen der TeilnehmerInnen. Das Durchsetzen einer „multikulturellen Gleichheit“ ist nicht anzustreben.
Sichtbarmachen ruft Emotionen wach, es kann Verhaltensmuster verstärken. Dies erzeugt unter Umständen ambivalente Situationen, die im Rahmen einer sensiblen und fragilen Intervention direkt gelöst werden sollen.

Explanation:
multicultural and gender related conflicts
To me the *momente* is the unimportant part. Its about conflicts caused between different ethnic groups, because of their different backgrounds *entstandenen Grenzen unterschiedlicher Kulturkreise* but also conflicts caused within the individual *Sichtbarmachen ruft Emotionen wach, es kann Verhaltensmuster verstärken*.

Alternative suggestions: moments of difference

Ok, I wonder if "moments of difference" may work if you want to avoid using "tension". Admittedly, the source below is a little curious and probably exactly the opposite ideology, but the use of words could apply in your context as well.

[...]The moments of difference are identity and difference itself.[...]

situations of tension/tense situations


Explanation:
The tendency in social science and administration in the English speaking world has been to focus on situations - almost a freeze-frame - whereas in France and Germany, the image used is that of the flow of events in which time and not place-related metaphors are used

Example sentence(s):
  • approaches to the solution of gender-related situations of tension
