Civil Society Reimagined

The project Civil Society Reimagined. Citizens’ Memories and Imaginaries: Democratic Citizenship focused on communities that have historically been affected by oppression, pushed to the edge of society: Migrants, Queers, and Jews, in the Austrian context. The book documents, how social and community issues can be addressed in new ways, by combining Citizen Science with arts and artistic research. With highschool students as citizen artists and scientists, the project’s aim was to examine critically what it means to be – or not to be – a citizen, and how to develop collective strategies to confront states of exclusion and marginalization.

D/Arts Sessions

The event series D/Arts Sessions takes a closer look at collective and community-based forms of collaboration. In this session, we explore how people work together in art and community projects. Led by the artist collective Mai Ling, we focus on creating places and networks for people who face discrimination.
Mai Ling presents a diverse array of artistic and discursive practices to address strategies to navigate conditions shaped by intersectional discrimination and microaggressions while seeking transformative and collective emancipation and healing.
Mai Ling, which started in Vienna in 2019, is an anonymous artist collective. They talk about and deal with racism, sexism, homophobia, and other unfair treatment, especially against Asian FLINT* (women, lesbian, inter*, non-binary, and trans*).

Architect’s migration, Meyer and the Bauhaus Brigade

The central topic of this talk will be the mass migration of the architects and urban planners to the USSR in the 1930s. The economic crisis and political engagement made such creators as the second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer, the radical urban planner Ernst May, the pioneer Austrian designer Margarete Schütte-Likhotsky, and many other of their colleagues go eastwards. There, regardless of human price it took, new factories were to be planned and built and their workers dwelled in new cities. What hopes and ambitions did the migrant architects have? Did they try to adapt to the dramatic context and try to realize their ideas? How did this attempt end for them?

Das Leben der Kunst – The Life of Art

Das neue Buch von Bojana Kunst beschäftigt sich mit dem komplexen Verhältnis zwischen Leben und Kunst und diskutiert dieses unter dem Blickwinkel der Sorge. Dabei werden nicht nur die Hintergründe gegenwärtiger Sorgedebatten untersucht, sondern die Autorin streicht auch deren ambivalenten Charakter heraus: Sorge kann ebenso sehr Teil von Gewaltverhältnissen sein, wie sie zur Grundlage für eine poetisch-imaginative Neuorientierung von sozialer, ökologischer und mikropolitischer Relationalität werden kann.

Bojana Kunst, Das Leben der Kunst. Transversale Linien der Sorge, Wien: transversal texts 2023

Bojana Kunst’s new book deals with the complex relationship between life and art and discusses this relationship from the angle of care. The author not only critically examines various backgrounds to contemporary debates on care, but furthermore lays an emphasis on its ambivalent character: care can be part and parcel of relations of violence as much as it can become the basis for a poetic-imaginative reorientation of social, ecological and micropolitical relationality.

“…first there was the garden”

The conversation of two experts will look into the use and meaning of the garden, both public and private. The garden today fulfils more demands than ever. It is a refuge from digitalised life and a bridge to nature. It is cultivated and untamable. While for centuries the aim was to control nature, today it serves more as a place for retreat, a possible surrogate for wilderness, a habitat for animals or the dream of self-sufficiency, a place of community. The essays deal with garden as art, garden as a place of enchantment, garden as action and resistance.
