Tour of „In Your Archives“ and workshop
Reclaiming Representations invites Black and People of Color to reimagine caricatured representations in Austria and greater Europe via a small tour of the work In Your Archives followed by a discussion and workshop on how to reimagine representations not only in material culture but generally in the Austrian/European context. The total time for the event should be 2 hours. The goal of the workshops are to build community with people of color in the Vienna, to imagine how these representations have been challenged and how this work can be continued.
Event open to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) only.
Ausstellung: 19. April bis 3. Mai. 10-17 Uhr. Mehr Info & Öffnungszeiten hier: Volkskundemuseum Wien
„fruit, seeds“
„fruit, seeds“ is a multimedia group exhibition by which the artists intentionally locate and expose themselves and their works in the between, the “still fi guring out” and the (un)becoming – a process which requires constant watering, so as to reap what is sown.
“Seed to tree, Tree to forest,
Rain to river, Need to feed,
Creature to teacher,
Teacher to student,
Student to caretaker”
(Extract from Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower”, 1993)
