The 11th edition of the WIENWOCHE gathers transdisciplinary teams of artists, cultural workers, art educators, curators, and activists to tackle a variety of issues related to their lived experience. We will see socially engaged fashion from Zrenjanin, Serbia, a town with no drinking tap water, learn about the right to adequate housing, the common grief of lost buildings in Vienna and a mining town in Sweden, the criminalization and food- related exoticization of second generation of Asian guest-workers as well as the invisible and underpaid labor of Central and South-Eastern European female care workers. While a project will deal with the destructive conditions of the fast fashion industry and the transformation from linear to circular models of production, in other the focus will be on the house/home as a concept that connects economy and ecology, support anticolonial intervention of racialized bodies onto the historical sites of Vienna. Another aspect we will look at are the corrupted power relations in global agriculture affecting indigenous realities, social inequalities in the cycle of food consumption-production, interconnection of scientific and poetic interpretations of ecosystems.
