In this discourse, conducted by practioners from various self-organizing forms in Austria, (mental) spaces are opened up to make the complex layers of structure that handle such projects in reality accessible and also shareable: individual and common matters, self-determined living and residing, community-based economics, use of our resources and much more. Different responses to precarious living conditions such as house squatting will also be addressed.
Starting September 2020, an intense exchange of knowledge will proceed in several video meetings, discursively examining different aspects and angles of an autonomous lifestyle. Social, spacial-political and artistic considerations as well as matters relevant to society are implied. Alternate financing and organization models – already applied by „Mietshäuser Syndikat“ (Germany) and HabiTAT (Austria) for quite some time – will also be addressed. As will be models not based on property acquisition.
Roselies Haider and Mira Palmisano, who spent six weeks in Velika Kladuša in January and February 2019 to support people on the way, give account of their perceptions at Schengen’s edge.
Our society is a plural gathering where many interests clash. Our co-operation in a democracy is subject to constant re-negotiation: This is about everybody, since every single one of us is a being of many possibilities. We believe that art, culture and the institutions promoting the same are open spaces-spaces that allow us to experience diversity and ambiguity. There has been a time when art was defamed as degenerate in Austria. Art and culture were put to ill uses of inhumane propaganda. People were debased, robbed of their means of existence, persecuted, exiled, murdered. As creators of art and culture in Austria we are well aware of the responsibility that arises from history. In the Republic of Austria, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms enjoys constitutional status. Whoever attempts to abrogate the European Human Rights Convention and the rule of law is compromising the cornerstones of our democratic commonwealth.
The current situation in Nicaragua and the modus operandi the autocratic acting president Daniel Ortega and his clans display in dealing with the opposition, with students, journalists and activists calls for first-hand information for one thing and, for another, for the necessity to "pin" this information in the form of an "information sculpture", keep it evident and further feed it.
Ausstellung im Pavelhaus/Pavlova Hiša: Persönlichen Erinnerungen und dem Erzählten Raum geben, um verschüttete gemeinsame Vergangenheit sichtbar zu machen. Postkarten, Briefe und Fotografien aus der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jh. aus dem Kärntner Loibltal erzählen Geschichte aus persönlicher Perspektive.
