If we fail to reflect on and learn from past experiences, we are bound to be confounded time and time again. Remembering Genocide, or crimes against humanities &nbsp;and its prevention are no exception. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The European Culture of Resistance is an interdisciplinary, long-term initiative by Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond that integrates artistic research, political and cultural youth education, and remembrance culture. The project fosters international collaboration among artists, scholars, cultural institutions, NGOs, and young people, creating co-creative environments to examine and counter fascism, antisemitism, racism, and all forms of othering. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; By employing a co-creative, action research-driven methodology, the project explores the intersections of historical, cultural, social, and political dimensions of resistance. Its activities include artistic workshops, scholarly discussions, international youth exchanges, exhibitions, public interventions, and publications, developed in collaboration with universities, museums, and schools across Europe and beyond. These initiatives not only reflect on historical instances of oppression but also interrogate their legacies and ongoing manifestations. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The project has reached more than 4,500 people through workshops, exhibitions, and public interventions. It has been recognised&nbsp;by the European Commission as a best-practice example for its innovative response to the COVID-19 crisis and as a Creative Europe best-practice project from Austria, underscoring its impact and exemplary approach to arts-based political education. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; European Culture of Resistance is grounded in the principle that learning from history is only possible through research, critical analysis, and creative application. Artistic imagination serves as a medium for envisioning alternative futures, cultivating ethical and political awareness, and strengthening capacities for active resistance. In this way, political, artistic, and cultural education collectively enable young people to engage meaningfully with history while shaping practices of social justice in the present and future.

The power of imagination inherent in artworks (and their authors’ private struggles) encourages meeting the future with an inquiring and imaginative mind. By encouraging the participants to reflect on artworks from this period and then, in turn, to become artists themselves in the further course of the project, the project aims to open up a new perspective on the connection of culture and politics. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In this process of research, critique and reflection, the participants will examine the historical works and, supported by professional artists, and move on to co-create artworks that connect historical developments to the here and now. Enabling such a process on the intersection of artistic research, activism, and cultural and political youth education is the central aim of this project. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in starting the thought process of what could be a European culture of resistance.&nbsp; ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in the critical questioning of artworks as an effective means of resistance. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in imagining a differentiated, shared concept of the European future based on a shared understanding of local and international history, and the values that derive from it. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in the definition of an intersection of art, political youth education and remembrance work. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in the collaboration of artists and young people in co-creative processes on equal footing, within the framework of Human Rights Education (HRE) and contemporary artistic practices at the cutting edge. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; in the establishment of a dynamic, sustainable, international network in the fields of artistic research, political education and art institutions. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; for interdisciplinary process development in an international network. ︎&nbsp; &nbsp; by publishing the project findings in an international context and discourse. <img width="1200" height="1133" width_o="1200" height_o="1133" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bcd35607ed803ab3abe2aa43a6a76b8dc9763d7072c984e4087d2b56f93f041/IMG_2302-1.jpg" data-mid="98298689" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bcd35607ed803ab3abe2aa43a6a76b8dc9763d7072c984e4087d2b56f93f041/IMG_2302-1.jpg" /> © Anderwald + Grond https://culture-of-resistance.eu/PARTNERS Wed, 10 Feb 2021 13:27:21 +0000 Culture of Resistance https://culture-of-resistance.eu/PARTNERS Partners EUROPEAN CULTURE OF RESISTANCE HASENHERZ or the Pleasures of Moving Images and Words, Vienna &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Since 2012, Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard Grond have been leading the association HASENHERZ or the Pleasures of Moving Images and Words, which hosts a nomadic screening- and discussion series based on Arnold Schönberg's Verein für musikalische Privataufführung.

University of Applied Arts, Vienna &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The University of Applied Arts Vienna takes on the challenge of positively influencing art, research and society. It continuously shapes and directs the present toward the future. Teachers and researchers, students, alumni, employees and partners unite as a collective that takes a stand for an open society, applying artistic and scientific competences as the key to furthering that goal by inventing new forms of work, education and art; by creating spaces for intellectual and creative endeavors, encouraging an open discourse that is both critical and empathic; by&nbsp;researching and evaluating the challenges facing society; by exploring radical solutions and developing new ideas to co-design and cope with transformations in technology, media and society.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The complex challenges ahead will require cooperative and multi-faceted approaches. We are not looking for simple answers, but for new questions and creative strategies arising within the context of our day-to-day activity. Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb is an internationally acclaimed museum with a focus on post-1950 contemporary art and artistic research. Since many years, the museum has been engaged in ambitious youth work and participated in the EU project Museum as Toolbox, which together with young people aimed to find out what a museum of contemporary art can look like in their eyes and what it has to do with contemporary life itself. In this project, the Museum in Zagreb will participate with a youth group, as well as contribute to the content, to administrative and exhibition activities within the resources of the Museum.

Partners of the project ART WORKS! European Culture of Resistance and Liberation. Foundation wannseeFORUM Berlin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As an institution, the Foundation wannseeFORUM represents core democratic values. It is not affiliated with any party, religion, or interest group. We stand for cosmopolitanism, diversity and equal rights for all, regardless of gender, religion, social, or cultural origins. Our unique profile exists in order to consolidate political and cultural education. The wannseeFORUM Foundation works as a cooperative partner with other institutions, both at home and abroad. We view ourselves as a reliable partner, working in committee with other establishments and organizations. Together we help to implement projects and ideas, taking an active part in social discourse and present-day issues. Our educational resources are directed first and foremost towards youth, as well as adults working with youth. We see ourselves as experts from a diverse group of occupations, seeking to inspire and support young people, helping them to engage in critical discourse with the world around them. In doing so, we take their views and insights seriously. Mutual understanding is the prerequisite for a reciprocal learning process, which in turn leads to new insights. We are, however, not satisfied with tepid mutual accolades, but seek to foster a productive and sometimes confrontational working style. The arts and new media help make it easier for youth to present their own positions comprehensibly. As well as expanding cognitive skills, our seminars aim to promote growth and awareness in the realm of social and emotional education. We are rooted in modern adult education, and artists and theatre teachers are often participating as partners in the teaching/learning process. Advanced training is generally product-oriented, with a final presentation as the objective.

Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) creates a forum for the contemporary arts and critical debates. In the midst of profound global and planetary transformation processes, HKW re-explores artistic positions, scientific concepts, and spheres of political activity, asking: How do we grasp the present and its accelerated technological upheavals? What will tomorrow’s diversified societies look like? And what responsibilities will the arts and sciences assume in this process? HKW develops and stages a program that is unique in Europe, blending discourse, exhibitions, concerts and performances, research, education programs and publications. Its projects initiate reflection processes and devise new frames of reference. In its work, HKW understands history as a resource for alternate narratives.&nbsp;In its extraordinary, modernist congress-hall architecture, HKW enables new forms of encounter and opens up experiential spaces between art and discourse. Together with artists, academics, everyday experts, and partners across the globe, it explores ideas in the making and shares them with Berlin’s international audience and the digital public. Museion, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bozlano &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Museion is a museum of contemporary art in the Italian Alps, which presents solo shows of top international artists whilst, at the same time, dedicating space to younger, up-coming artists. Museion is committed to being as open and approachable as possible for all and offers a rich programme of events for all ages for both experts and non-experts. Over the years, the museum has activated projects also beyond its exhibition spaces. For example, works from the collection and site-specific projects are presented in the Little Museion: Cubo Garutti an open, public exhibition space in the city’s suburbs. &nbsp;Each site-specific project directly involves the local community and, more recently, in particular youths. An example is the project Liliana Moro, On Air, 2018, in which consisted of the artist working closely with a group of local youths to find ways for them to connect the peripheral area of Bolzano to the city centre and to the main Museion building. Since 2015 Museion has been building up a youth group, in which members can participate in artist workshops, studio visits, mini-jobs, behind the scenes, hands-on experiences and the chance to propose and realize projects at Museion.

Another focus is the support of organisations of former prisoners and other visiting groups from Austria and abroad. The organisation and realization of the annual memorial service, as well as the administration and maintenance of the Melk concentration camp memorial site on behalf of the Federal Institute Mauthausen are further focal points of their activities. <img width="1171" height="1027" width_o="1171" height_o="1027" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34cb32d7329b6af06fc1a1912c5ac72bab02b292b196d0c2851cbebe4829d114/HH_02.jpg" data-mid="98437774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34cb32d7329b6af06fc1a1912c5ac72bab02b292b196d0c2851cbebe4829d114/HH_02.jpg" /> HASENHERZ or the Pleasures of Moving Images and Words <img width="1155" height="770" width_o="1155" height_o="770" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fed204d8ae82ca778cc0bb106db3ac0010906f77a14e869cce4e68dd401d35d3/HGC_Joburg.jpg" data-mid="241550286" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fed204d8ae82ca778cc0bb106db3ac0010906f77a14e869cce4e68dd401d35d3/HGC_Joburg.jpg" /> The Johannesburg Holocaust &amp; Genocide Centre <img width="600" height="448" width_o="600" height_o="448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91b327f4943a1e7a82a7d3b8be286b43f7ec74f9f2df501e98422e9e16d433f0/angewandte.gif" data-mid="98834599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/91b327f4943a1e7a82a7d3b8be286b43f7ec74f9f2df501e98422e9e16d433f0/angewandte.gif" /> University of Applied Arts, Vienna <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9faf220a25ef6e3e6c7ec6424ffb8f1ce82d6c3a0b8b3f5a77ef5dc4aec34c37/Zagreb_Museum.jpg" data-mid="98437772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9faf220a25ef6e3e6c7ec6424ffb8f1ce82d6c3a0b8b3f5a77ef5dc4aec34c37/Zagreb_Museum.jpg" />Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb <img width="1400" height="929" width_o="1400" height_o="929" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b700d09633c9317b65b27cfb6f4119344c828e6abbb06beb09a40c93882c34f/HBKB.jpg" data-mid="208108177" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b700d09633c9317b65b27cfb6f4119344c828e6abbb06beb09a40c93882c34f/HBKB.jpg" /> Braunschweig University of Art <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6065f0a99ace7b0cacb46408bb724343ea08fd7c4b221bfb41854c867dd740b9/wannseeFOREUM.jpg" data-mid="98437754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6065f0a99ace7b0cacb46408bb724343ea08fd7c4b221bfb41854c867dd740b9/wannseeFOREUM.jpg" />© Stiftung wannseeFORUM <img width="839" height="1200" width_o="839" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d33cb96a20a72cecaac8622a5bd8b6d52e11308bfc994648a6bd0ea4d548082/stiftung_Betweenbridges.jpg" data-mid="98686842" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/839/i/2d33cb96a20a72cecaac8622a5bd8b6d52e11308bfc994648a6bd0ea4d548082/stiftung_Betweenbridges.jpg" /> Foundation Between Bridges <img width="800" height="533" width_o="800" height_o="533" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4ed8c0175550bc06252e06add55d8d2ecb374c79a17e25b08d4acf6061887032/Haus_der_Kulturen_der_Welt-_Berlin-_160521-_ako.jpg" data-mid="98686848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/4ed8c0175550bc06252e06add55d8d2ecb374c79a17e25b08d4acf6061887032/Haus_der_Kulturen_der_Welt-_Berlin-_160521-_ako.jpg" /> Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin <img width="960" height="720" width_o="960" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cead421c4c2b2e824ecd32166edf4d07f2b48210f0af7f59f5d3d87082104517/960px-Museion1.jpg" data-mid="98437731" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/cead421c4c2b2e824ecd32166edf4d07f2b48210f0af7f59f5d3d87082104517/960px-Museion1.jpg" /> Museion, museum of modern and contemporary art, Bolzano <img width="1596" height="1188" width_o="1596" height_o="1188" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40656387076bae0935ea0a9516bf6a8d9bba4ed177a52fa77be6aa8db53f9ef3/melk_memorial.jpg" data-mid="98437755" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40656387076bae0935ea0a9516bf6a8d9bba4ed177a52fa77be6aa8db53f9ef3/melk_memorial.jpg" /> Center of Contemporary History Melk Memorial https://culture-of-resistance.eu/TIMELINE Sun, 14 Feb 2021 09:05:00 +0000 Culture of Resistance https://culture-of-resistance.eu/TIMELINE Timeline EUROPEAN CULTURE OF RESISTANCE 4 December 2025: Resist Together!

If we fail to reflect on and learn from past experiences, we are bound to be confounded time and time again. Remembering Genocide and its prevention are no exception.&nbsp; Anchored in the interdisciplinary project The Arts of Resistance, Resist Together!, Modes of Coexistence seeks to develop a practical toolkit emerging from workshops in Johannesburg and Vienna. These workshops combine historical research, critical analysis, and co-creative artistic practice in a dynamic, collaborative process. On December 4, an intergenerational workshop took place at The Holocaust and Genocide Centre of Johannesburg with Barbara Staudinger from the Jewish Museum Vienna, Tali Nates and her team, and us, Ruth Anderwald and Leonhard Grond. It was a powerful day of inspiring exchange, and we are very much looking forward to the next steps. <img width="1000" height="909" width_o="1000" height_o="909" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f53fc616d6e9d3a2e77feaa483fa42d6b4814c0856cd79237867d007be0eb45b/Buch_02.jpg" data-mid="241593024" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f53fc616d6e9d3a2e77feaa483fa42d6b4814c0856cd79237867d007be0eb45b/Buch_02.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b8ba3cfe4987b937ae67d51fa831f46bd1029ed3bcb7735a73a40796d033aef3/Buch_03.jpg" data-mid="241593025" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b8ba3cfe4987b937ae67d51fa831f46bd1029ed3bcb7735a73a40796d033aef3/Buch_03.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="1036" width_o="1000" height_o="1036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0cf221bee37779c9923b2d6360a5730195fb9bd98a16320e51cfa27083b84825/Buch_04.jpg" data-mid="241593026" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0cf221bee37779c9923b2d6360a5730195fb9bd98a16320e51cfa27083b84825/Buch_04.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="535" width_o="1000" height_o="535" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b10eb8365b9754816e1cbb06725eb6140b903326efde8742f12271eab5f5cfe/Buch_06.jpg" data-mid="241593028" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b10eb8365b9754816e1cbb06725eb6140b903326efde8742f12271eab5f5cfe/Buch_06.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="1222" width_o="1000" height_o="1222" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3433e61af08e037bfc62ef383fcbae851fd4eae12bfacab760135a426c7128f7/Buch_07.jpg" data-mid="241593029" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3433e61af08e037bfc62ef383fcbae851fd4eae12bfacab760135a426c7128f7/Buch_07.jpg" />Nov 27 2025 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Book Presentation at AIL Vienna with editors Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond in conversation with the authors, participants and graphic designers HammerAlbrecht.&nbsp;© eSeL.at, Joanna Pianka &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Resistance requires not only critical thinking, but also new aesthetic approaches.

These days, the way frontlines are drawn is so unbearably ugly and banal, it seems not just reasonable to develop an art of resistance, it could also be beautiful.Eva Menasse, writer June 30 2025&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Not to forget means to stay active, reach out to each other, and build a more just society.

Thank you to everyone for your engagement and consistency at this amazing journey.&nbsp;The evening closed with a performance in front of Sanje Iveković's monument. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fascism: I sometimes fear... I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters&nbsp; as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis. Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour,&nbsp; make you feel proud,&nbsp; protect your house,&nbsp; give you a job,&nbsp; clean up the neighbourhood,&nbsp; remind you of how great you once were,&nbsp; clear out the venal and the corrupt,&nbsp; remove anything you feel is unlike you... It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; We, the group from HBK Braunschweig, aim to realise an anti-fascism project in Braunschweig in collaboration with schools. In cooperation with Living Democracy! Braunschweig and Anna-Sophie Schröder from the VHS Braunschweig, four Braunschweig schools could be won over. In the summer semester of 2024, students of Zusatzqualifikation Kunstvermittlung (supplementary qualification art education/mediation) held two 90-minute workshops at the Wilhelm Bracke Comprehensive School, the IGS Querum, the Neue Oberschule High School and the Georg-Eckert secondary school. As part of these workshops, motifs for a modular anti-fascism sculpture emerged. In the first workshop at the schools, the students set up three stations in the classroom on the topics Braunschweig during the Nazi era, Art against Fascism and Braunschweig today. Around the tables of these stations, on which there were photos of former Nazi locations in Braunschweig, printed social media posts of Braunschweiger neo-Nazis and anti-fascist art from the classic avant-garde, the students discussed with the school students the current state of democracy and the Situation in Braunschweig. The results of this workshop were summarized in short terms which became the starting point for designing the motifs in the follow-up workshop. A selection of terms can also be found as printed text on the sculpture. In the second workshop, the school students finally drew the motifs for the anti-fascism sculpture. The students provided them with advice and support in their role as aspiring visual artists. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The technical construction of the modular sculpture was constructed in collaboration with RAHM Architects. The sculpture was unveiled and installed in the IGS Querum schoolyard in November 2024. In December 2024 it will be presented in the auditorium of the Wilhelm Bracke Comprehensive School, in January/February 2025 in the entrance area of the VHS Braunschweig and in May 2025 in the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb as part of TAoR's final exhibition.

In Cape Town, we explored the Holocaust and Genocide Centre and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, among many others. In Johannesburg, director Tali Nates guided us through The Johannesburg Holocaust &amp; Genocide Centre, which she established. This centre serves as a place of remembrance, education, and lessons for humanity. The JHGC explores the history of genocide in the 20th century, focusing on the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. It explores the connections between genocide and contemporary human rights issues, urging visitors to understand the consequences of prejudice, discrimination, and othering in order to prevent the recurrence of mass atrocities and genocide in all its forms. We deeply appreciate this opportunity and the subsequent dialogue. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ... that I owe it to them to defend them against the abuse of their history and their family’s history. Robert Rotifer &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In connection with the ongoing exhibition, The Third Generation: The Holocaust in Family Memory, at the Jewish Museum Vienna, director Barbara Staudinger conducted interviews with members of the third generation to discuss their unique perspectives on their grandparents’ history and their own generational identity. Robert Rotifer reflects on his grandmother Irma Schwager, in whose honour he devoted an evening during our Exchange Week.

A line is drawn from what was before and what is today to what might be: a society based on solidarity without discrimination or exclusion.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The film served as a poignant reflection of the themes we explored during the week and helped us prepare for the upcoming months, when we will co-create works for our exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/916229a641180d6bec62e4a483aa3e479001f0de21dd79d46a67d2ba2e0a6037/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1801-2.jpg" data-mid="219835532" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/916229a641180d6bec62e4a483aa3e479001f0de21dd79d46a67d2ba2e0a6037/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1801-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/61adf5a9e3f379552f4cffdd719aeb11b38854bcf0e49faa1066a0bebcdafade/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1849.jpg" data-mid="219835534" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/61adf5a9e3f379552f4cffdd719aeb11b38854bcf0e49faa1066a0bebcdafade/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1849.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a60710cf266418b3f45f6aa6ee82a4cf2ab3f16f6bca300e28a4a5aace85147a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2084.jpg" data-mid="219835540" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a60710cf266418b3f45f6aa6ee82a4cf2ab3f16f6bca300e28a4a5aace85147a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2084.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b913ce0646228616f4ad4c6d54a65bd38290734f78b7e195fd714dc8f9fa90ba/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2053.jpg" data-mid="219835539" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b913ce0646228616f4ad4c6d54a65bd38290734f78b7e195fd714dc8f9fa90ba/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2053.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a824797264637cbf8a3bef5044b2f90bc321f76d72f16138f079576ba1014f68/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1848.jpg" data-mid="219835533" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a824797264637cbf8a3bef5044b2f90bc321f76d72f16138f079576ba1014f68/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1848.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9774dc4d922bb5cede2b1a28da770dacde8040fbe3d46b56eb2c3681baa780c9/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1855-2.jpg" data-mid="219835585" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9774dc4d922bb5cede2b1a28da770dacde8040fbe3d46b56eb2c3681baa780c9/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1855-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f4fd6adbc08ec2d6d981fc6280d2bf77ae60ad0db898c5760738a034cdaf54e/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1983.jpg" data-mid="219835538" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3f4fd6adbc08ec2d6d981fc6280d2bf77ae60ad0db898c5760738a034cdaf54e/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1983.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed844638bc29619378dd3e0a1afe927ce49e38dfc3948e9fa5854f3c965a0152/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2154.jpg" data-mid="219835541" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ed844638bc29619378dd3e0a1afe927ce49e38dfc3948e9fa5854f3c965a0152/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_2154.jpg" /> August 30 &nbsp;2024 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thank you so much, to the rectorate of Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts, specifically to Adi Stern, Barak Pelman and Liat Brix-Etgar, for coming to Vienna and discussing with us in person. Your work on the Guidelines for Free Speech and Creative Freedom in Wartime spreads courage, hope, and confidence. We are keenly aware that each and every point of the Guidelines and their creation involved a challenging, even hurtful process. What impresses us so much is that the guidelines were developed from the entire organisation of a university across ethnicities, religious beliefs, genders and ages, across and involving all hierarchical levels. Such work requires a lot of listening and discussing and is therefore a great role model and inspiration. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9cd5d6e5fea3cd0083922a6d73b9c3b78bb591bce529bd7ec13283ab5f6153b/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1762.jpg" data-mid="219828921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9cd5d6e5fea3cd0083922a6d73b9c3b78bb591bce529bd7ec13283ab5f6153b/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1762.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c308ef619e58c2f2ce4847dc2fd3265463fb27b6ba7beaf1a76d7684b26317e0/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1786-2.jpg" data-mid="219828926" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c308ef619e58c2f2ce4847dc2fd3265463fb27b6ba7beaf1a76d7684b26317e0/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1786-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1ada20544d81c02715d58bd385b7939cf3816e764d1e540254ad91f1f4485980/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1772-2.jpg" data-mid="219828924" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1ada20544d81c02715d58bd385b7939cf3816e764d1e540254ad91f1f4485980/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1772-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8c637c57db6091f6f4684c12fbdc2c0b8e262e61a3da98254929eeeb7a5afac1/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1765-2.jpg" data-mid="219828923" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8c637c57db6091f6f4684c12fbdc2c0b8e262e61a3da98254929eeeb7a5afac1/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1765-2.jpg" /> August 30 &nbsp;2024 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; On this hot summer day, we welcomed guests from outside Europe, including Liat Brix-Etgar, Barak Pelman and Adi Stern from the Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts, Jerusalem.

The academy brings together lived realities, diverse identities, complex and contradictory worldviews.

Stemming from all segments of society, this dynamic mix of people of varied religious, cultural, and socioeconomic origins and affiliations enriches and energizes the Academy, furthering expanded viewpoints and stimulating original and independent thinking.

Preeti shed light on the crisis existing in farmlands, often overlooked amidst the romanticized perception of rural life. She discussed how contemporary art has served as a platform for critical commentary and intervention into agrarian complexities. Some artworks have deeply explored the land and rural social structures, while others have sought to highlight farmer protests, turning a seemingly distant crisis into a national concern. <img width="1200" height="1202" width_o="1200" height_o="1202" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d49735629db3aad6c44ea4a05f5807600c905dc115a77205715734dbebc9fc90/1388403855564_1391167131071436.jpg" data-mid="219787777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d49735629db3aad6c44ea4a05f5807600c905dc115a77205715734dbebc9fc90/1388403855564_1391167131071436.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="817" width_o="1000" height_o="817" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3645cf9dbfe14e4e0d1bc5966580aed6ab143a116ba4a1b92654af37c7a720bd/IMG_9937.jpeg" data-mid="219787778" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3645cf9dbfe14e4e0d1bc5966580aed6ab143a116ba4a1b92654af37c7a720bd/IMG_9937.jpeg" /> August 29&nbsp; 2024&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Artist Deborah Sengl and Barbara Staudinger, the director of the Jewish Museum, guided us through the exhibition The Last Days of Democracy. The year 2024 marks an election year. Throughout Europe, there is a rise in support for parties advocating for "illiberal democracies," trying to convince us that this pairing is not contradictory. Society is divided, with social media echo chambers catering to specific groups and stirring up hostility towards others. The pandemic and war have further polarized public opinion, while the wealth gap continues to widen daily. Antisemitism and racism are prevalent, exacerbated by the war in the Middle East. Many view these circumstances as a foreshadowing of The Last Days of Humankind, making Karl Kraus, celebrating his 150th anniversary this year, more relevant than ever. This is why the rats have returned. Sixteen scenes from Deborah Sengl’s installation have been selected and updated with texts by the Austrian poet Lydia Haider. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdc75f20b2f58e20e981951cdc4b0c392622685c951997abf1763b92d52a7f12/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1445-2.jpg" data-mid="219780382" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdc75f20b2f58e20e981951cdc4b0c392622685c951997abf1763b92d52a7f12/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1445-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c27a1f267b87f5f31179305f89a113c210f8826efc9a0a75bd2d9fba63ad444e/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1510.jpg" data-mid="219780385" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c27a1f267b87f5f31179305f89a113c210f8826efc9a0a75bd2d9fba63ad444e/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1510.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55ab6e7f6abe38f8a1573cceb769939ca9d27586b138e3bd9d2dac1baa2e8a3a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1469-2.jpg" data-mid="219780383" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/55ab6e7f6abe38f8a1573cceb769939ca9d27586b138e3bd9d2dac1baa2e8a3a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1469-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36d6bfd641bef70754c60a00627bc20dd4428ef72108ecca6bdf33ec7964d83a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1598.jpg" data-mid="219780390" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36d6bfd641bef70754c60a00627bc20dd4428ef72108ecca6bdf33ec7964d83a/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1598.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c5fe5858ab0985d5677af31a6824a4de25d7c1cff9ef487373d83cbc1a04d03/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1545-2.jpg" data-mid="219780386" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c5fe5858ab0985d5677af31a6824a4de25d7c1cff9ef487373d83cbc1a04d03/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1545-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/89b4dd13c09a32d7c61fff633c35155bd5f2a451e931fae40583c0c248a3c105/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1588-2.jpg" data-mid="219780389" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/89b4dd13c09a32d7c61fff633c35155bd5f2a451e931fae40583c0c248a3c105/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1588-2.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e40a4ef13e68a76e7362e12431b4788fa5fd2c825fb397d577375a9670b77abf/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1578.jpg" data-mid="219780388" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e40a4ef13e68a76e7362e12431b4788fa5fd2c825fb397d577375a9670b77abf/eSeLat_RobertPuteanu_1578.jpg" /> August 28&nbsp; 2024&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; When we were planning this project, we knew that we had to invite Robert Rotifer to share his stories and songs about his grandmother, resistance fighter Irma Schwager, who had lived in the neighbourhood for almost 70 years.

Delving into the background of the neighbourhood brings to the fore stories that are specific to the local history, from the flat of resistance fighter Irma Schwager to the villa of Jewish architect Oscar Mamorek, where the architect of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann, later lived. This neighbourhood has always been a source of inspiration for bringing The Arts of Resistance project to life.

His film delves into the courageous acts of resistance against fascism in Austria, Spain, and France during the 1930s and 1940s. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It’s truly moving to witness the stories of individuals like Harry Spiegel, who dedicated their lives to standing up against oppressive regimes. The film’s focus on the generation of resistance fighters who bravely fought against Franco, the Austro-fascists Dollfuss/Schuschnigg, and Hitler is a powerful testament to their resilience and determination. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9026c6ebaa084b5be8725bc6e3eafe93c5fda68258754b710d4ff293ab23bba8/IMG_1706.JPG" data-mid="219710705" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9026c6ebaa084b5be8725bc6e3eafe93c5fda68258754b710d4ff293ab23bba8/IMG_1706.JPG" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be1ba3a66185d53ee80145f1102cd49093cce412717b17d5f004835a9de6b0ce/IMG_1699.JPG" data-mid="219710703" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/be1ba3a66185d53ee80145f1102cd49093cce412717b17d5f004835a9de6b0ce/IMG_1699.JPG" /> August 27&nbsp; 2024 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Today, we had the privilege of visiting the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW), where the team gave us a warm welcome and guided us through their permanent exhibition. The exhibition offered a profound glimpse into Austria’s history, displaying artefacts of resistance against fascism. It was an eye-opening experience, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the crucial work DÖW is doing - not just for Austria, but for a wider international audience as well. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Founded in 1963, DÖW was established by former Austrian resistance members, survivors of Nazi persecution. From the start, it has maintained a nonpartisan and inclusive focus, bringing together representatives from a variety of backgrounds: Communists, Socialists, Catholic-Conservatives, the Catholic Church, the Jewish community, as well as Roma and Sinti groups, alongside political figures. What began as a modest initiative run by idealistic victims of fascism has grown into a respected institution, recognised both in Austria and abroad for its vital role in preserving history and promoting awareness. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; We left the centre deeply inspired by the important work they continue to do. It’s a place that keeps the memory of resistance alive and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice and human dignity. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8f00bda0c185ea1f498c7e06ddc206014832059c4000114f068b819de9d6f89/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9689.jpg" data-mid="219375423" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8f00bda0c185ea1f498c7e06ddc206014832059c4000114f068b819de9d6f89/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9689.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6a5f362272464eff8917e626dfce19b312bd3f465d559a7617794f7d52e4321/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9756.jpg" data-mid="219375424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6a5f362272464eff8917e626dfce19b312bd3f465d559a7617794f7d52e4321/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9756.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/134ccba021a376fb1301b45c634cf9141588d8563008681aaa0087fa543be2db/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9718.jpg" data-mid="219374913" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/134ccba021a376fb1301b45c634cf9141588d8563008681aaa0087fa543be2db/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9718.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9702abdac9975cd82c84e612da216a6cc0a348f9a04e48a10786309dcec82df9/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9744.jpg" data-mid="219374916" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9702abdac9975cd82c84e612da216a6cc0a348f9a04e48a10786309dcec82df9/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9744.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbc911146decfab5e3be1ab978fda698aa3631a45c5f4ba70fbc457a044b3e4c/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9747.jpg" data-mid="219374917" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbc911146decfab5e3be1ab978fda698aa3631a45c5f4ba70fbc457a044b3e4c/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9747.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1018e4c0a9c5d8d5006a5a69a5dd876160f512e9a1f5f5fa5c9ba5d9f459447e/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9739.jpg" data-mid="219374915" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1018e4c0a9c5d8d5006a5a69a5dd876160f512e9a1f5f5fa5c9ba5d9f459447e/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9739.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9dcc5ec4b02ed4f9e79f661da8c3745ac8ce87c19c8a9270b7e6490647a51270/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9721.jpg" data-mid="219374914" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9dcc5ec4b02ed4f9e79f661da8c3745ac8ce87c19c8a9270b7e6490647a51270/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9721.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e287fc25349bbc227898048694131e22223b42856e286db7431d54406aa89e3/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9691-2.jpg" data-mid="219374911" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e287fc25349bbc227898048694131e22223b42856e286db7431d54406aa89e3/The-Arts-of-Resistance-260824-9691-2.jpg" />August 26&nbsp; 2024 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Our first workshop during the exchange week was by artist-researcher Jo O’Brien. They introduced us to sustainable resistance as slow beginnings for durational action. Resistance is a strange thing, often urgent or immediate, sometimes existential, and frequently durational. Durational across scales of time that – from the here and now – might have no conceivable end. Resistance to fascism in particular is a project as old as the politic itself, and one that must continue past any “end” of it as well. This resistance then cannot be a sprint or a marathon, a march, or even a single destination. Instead, this resistance must be a sustainable one – one that can be practised as indefinitely as needed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I want to learn about creative methods to inspire people to get engaged in the fight against fascism.Participant of the Exchange Week<img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/646c2a5c6eaae8aab735dc91f872c9396da3bcf660e8395ef11eb31e81970c22/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9465.jpeg" data-mid="218248318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/646c2a5c6eaae8aab735dc91f872c9396da3bcf660e8395ef11eb31e81970c22/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9465.jpeg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb2e6ba1fea940879f84112784768fb064d555ffa2eb0dba9b7729eecbf0d193/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9404.jpeg" data-mid="218248316" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb2e6ba1fea940879f84112784768fb064d555ffa2eb0dba9b7729eecbf0d193/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9404.jpeg" /><img width="1000" height="930" width_o="1000" height_o="930" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a4c7719b55ab48220944945951bdfded4d9d92340865ced0096be031684c6bd/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9525.jpg" data-mid="218248503" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9a4c7719b55ab48220944945951bdfded4d9d92340865ced0096be031684c6bd/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9525.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7dd1002018cc9180606fe9dec6ef95224858deeb1c908898f5509d926582fc92/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9502.jpeg" data-mid="218248319" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7dd1002018cc9180606fe9dec6ef95224858deeb1c908898f5509d926582fc92/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9502.jpeg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c75e4845fe1adaed130bb3b7a17fa6cbd3e7455fe326c45faca916a046202cd9/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9508.jpg" data-mid="218248444" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c75e4845fe1adaed130bb3b7a17fa6cbd3e7455fe326c45faca916a046202cd9/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9508.jpg" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53bbe668833f8d0b5c96c7e1c0cd055bbbe1b5e5b065fb5f124aec9409e19a5d/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9552.jpeg" data-mid="218248321" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53bbe668833f8d0b5c96c7e1c0cd055bbbe1b5e5b065fb5f124aec9409e19a5d/The-Arts-of-Resistance-250824-9552.jpeg" /> &nbsp;August 25&nbsp; 2024&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After the summer, we are excited to kick off our Exchange Week and welcome all participants to Vienna.

It stands at the essence of our humanity, and it asks for no special protection except the right to exist. It accepts argument, criticism, even rejection. It does not accept violence. Salman Rushdie, Knife, Meditations After an Attempted Murder, 2024.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The most important […] is that art challenges orthodoxy. To reject or vilify art because it does that is to fail to understand its nature. Art sets the artist’s passionate personal vision against the received ideas of its time. Art knows that the received ideas are the enemies of art, as Flaubert told us in Bouchard et Pécuchet. Clichés are received ideas and so are ideologies […]. Without art our ability to think, to see freshly, and to renew our world would wither and die.&nbsp;Art is not a luxury. It stands at the essence of our humanity, and it asks for no special protection except the right to exist.It accepts argument, criticism, even rejection. It does not accept violence.

Their contribution, Resistance Then And Now collages texts and images on a satin banner and in the graphics of a pamphlet to create a connection between the actions and significant presence of leading women in resistance movements and the slogans from current protests in Croatia. The aim of the group was to identify contemporary resistance to current fascisms using the aesthetics of protest posters which are a public expression of our hard-won freedom of speech. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5532904936b3f786152bc6c5609e1d0e7166f384b7419a14975346922938dd2/18.jpg" data-mid="98300290" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a5532904936b3f786152bc6c5609e1d0e7166f384b7419a14975346922938dd2/18.jpg" /> <img width="1400" height="1002" width_o="1400" height_o="1002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3e45b0e25f26d3437f10195c3104553e28e423ebc801b14b17eb622a081db24/2a.jpg" data-mid="98300313" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3e45b0e25f26d3437f10195c3104553e28e423ebc801b14b17eb622a081db24/2a.jpg" /> <img width="1400" height="823" width_o="1400" height_o="823" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c40dbd043123c64f6a5bc247b9dde3d68e74c3a46835bc5c6223d019a83f098/1bph.jpg" data-mid="98300284" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c40dbd043123c64f6a5bc247b9dde3d68e74c3a46835bc5c6223d019a83f098/1bph.jpg" /><img width="1400" height="933" width_o="1400" height_o="933" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69f2d4a7dc6f5dd7a6b21d03e194feef2cb9186a80fdeeaeac5da55e0ba19fb0/8.jpg" data-mid="98300311" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69f2d4a7dc6f5dd7a6b21d03e194feef2cb9186a80fdeeaeac5da55e0ba19fb0/8.jpg" /><img width="1400" height="933" width_o="1400" height_o="933" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc0451f85ef174224c4ee30cdd8cdc674bf8fa1d508a00d75e4544094dbdbfab/9.jpg" data-mid="98300285" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc0451f85ef174224c4ee30cdd8cdc674bf8fa1d508a00d75e4544094dbdbfab/9.jpg" /> June 18 2020 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Cubo Garutti – Piccolo Museion: European project ART WORKS! European Culture of Resistance and Liberation &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; About Resistance (interfaced) is a journey taken by a group of young people at Museion together with the artist Alessandra Ferrini. Consisting of a banner and video, the installation depicts the desktop of a computer as a window on the world. This reveals both the compromises and contradictions of the period we are living through with “domestic” lockdown on one hand and global participation on the other. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Cubo further hosts Solely You It’s Not, a work produced by a group from the University St. Pölten in Austria mentored by the artist collective Anderwald + Grond. Their work consists of a poster series of European women who took an active part in the Resistance during World War II. It is based on Hilde Meisel’s work, an Austrian journalist and writer who fought against the Nazi regime. They also included an audio work that unites different European voices and languages in recitation of Meisel’s poem Das ist’s [‘tis]. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This is the first part of the exhibition of the project ART WORKS!, on view until 02.08.20.

The explicit intention is not only to commemorate the particular historical event but also to consider the implications for the present and future. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage young people from all over the world to get to know different perspectives of history, to question existing narratives, and to reflect on questions of war and peace in today’s world. The current situation, which has developed as a result of the novel coronavirus, also raises questions about the official commemoration of the Second World War. We believe that today the situation can be used to rethink commemoration.

The outbreak of Covid 19 changed our plans. Starting from our own places of residence in Berlin, we researched nearby subcamps of the concentration camp and places of forced labor. On the website of the Documentation Center NS Forced Labor and the German Resistance Memorial Center we found information about locations, resistance fighters, their activities and their fate.We live all over the city, in the center as well as on the outskirts: Lichterfelde, Wedding close to Köslinerstraße and Kolonienstraße, Moabit, Charlottenburg, Kreuzberg, Hoppegarten and Lichtenberg. From our home, a short walk away, in the same street block or immediate vicinity, we photographed the former places: forced work training camps, concentration camp subcamps, places of resistance activities, secret meeting and hiding places, etc. The photographs have been taken as notations and photographic sequences and edited into photofilms. Three text levels are added, which differ visually: 1. Key words of resistance, 2. The History of the location, 3. Our personal situation: who we are, where we are right now, where we come from and what the lock-down does to us. Some of us included their personal experience of emigration, war and exil.

After researching the Resistance during WW II individually, we realized that all of us focused on female historical figures. Thus, we chose to focus mainly on that aspect of the Resistance: the stories and accomplishments of those who are seldomly heard, whose stories are fractured and even harder to re-trace: the female resistance. During our research, we found out about Hilde Meisel - a resistance fighter in the Second World War. We were fascinated by her story and decided to make her poem ‘Das ist's’ the centrepiece of our artistic work. Using analogue and 3D Animation, 2D visuals and accompanying soundscapes, we created a short film. The goal hereby was to display the unity, diversity and fortitude of those who fought for liberty and justice. Today, 75 years after the liberation of the concentration camps and the end of the war we want to deliver the message Hilde Meisel once tried to make us understand: that solely you it's not.

After bringing together what they found, they looked into narratives excluded or marginalized from the schools' history books.

Twenty years later, US military documents about this meeting were found and sent to Erlauf by two Jewish emigrants, now living in the US. A memorial plaque was officially unveiled at the town hall a few years later. Since then, the city of Erlauf has continued to organize a celebration ceremony every year that eventually evolved into the celebration of Friedenstage (Days of Peace). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Following the first celebrations starting in 1965, Erlau has now shifted its focus to celebrate the event with contemporary art. In 1995, peace monuments by Jenny Holzer and Oleg Komov were erected. Art projects in public space and the Peace Memorial Museum’s historical and art exhibitions are open to the public.

Because the first 500 prisoners arrived here by trainon April 21, 1944. And because all the other 14,000 prisoners from main-camp Mauthausen were also transported here to the train station.

They were forced to work primarily digging an underground tunnel complex in which the Steyr-Daimler-Puch Company produced war material. About 5.000 prisoners died during their imprisonment. The former crematorium building was declared a public monument in 1962, and since has been the home of the Melk concentration camp memorial. A range of exhibitions and events have been organised in an effort to educate and remind the public of the horrible occurrences that have taken place here.

The Bertha von Suttner Peace Academy is an impulse to take further steps toward the peaceful co-existence of societies in the present and future. The goal is to mobilize peoples' thoughts in regard to peace and to integrate these into everyday life so as to effect the making of peace.

Dezember 1948 erklären die Mitgliedsstaaten der UN die angeborene Würde aller Menschen zu respektieren, allen Menschen die gleichen Rechte zu zugestehen und sie vor willkürlicher Gewalt zu schützen. Und es ist kein Zufall, dass diese Erklärung so kurz nach Ende des 2. Weltkrieges verkündet wurde. Gerade das Nazi-Regime hatte aufgezeigt, welch verheerende Folgen eine Missachtung der Menschenrechte hat. Vor diesem historischen Hintergrund übernehmen wir als österreichische Bürger*innen besondere Verantwortung. Immer wieder fragen wir uns auch als Künstler*innen, was unsere gesellschaftspolitische Verantwortung ist, und welche Ausdrucksformen diese Verantwortung annehmen kann. Heuer starteten wir daher das interdisziplinäre Kunstprojekt “Art Works! European Culture of Resistance und Liberation”, in dem sich junge Menschen mit Widerstand gegen Faschismus in Europa und der Befreiung davon aus künstlerischer und historisch-politischer Perspektive auseinandersetzen.

Peace and stability could only be achieved by the consolidation of democracy and the rule of law. Inspired by the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the Convention is a unique, legally-binding treaty, overseen by an independent international court, which safeguards people’s basic rights and fundamental freedoms. Initially signed by 12 countries on 4 November 1950, the Convention now protects over 830 million people in 47 European States.

They included political opponents of the Nazi regime, members of groups declared by the Nazis to be racially or biologically inferior, such as Jews, Sinti and Roma, and people persecuted as homosexuals, as well as so-called “career criminals” and “antisocials”. Initially, the internees were predominantly German citizens, but after the outbreak of the Second World War, tens of thousands of people were deported from the occupied territories to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, including political opponents of National Socialism or of the collaborating governments, foreign forced labourers and Allied prisoners of war. In 1944, around 90 % of the internees were foreigners, with citizens of the Soviet Union and Poland forming the largest groups. There were also around 20,000 women among the internees in Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

Unfortunately, forced labour is not an issue of the past but still very present, even in products we may buy or use on a daily basis. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Chinese government has facilitated the mass transfer of Uyghur and other ethnic minority citizens from the far west region of Xinjiang to factories across the country. Under conditions that strongly suggest forced labour, Uyghurs are working in factories that are in the supply chains of at least 83 well-known global brands in the technology, clothing and automotive sectors, including Apple, BMW, Gap, Huawei, Nike, Samsung, Sony and Volkswagen.

In Block 27 they discovered documentation of the magazine Vedem, a resistence magazine dedicated to culture, arts and news, that existed from 1942 to 1944 in the Terezín Concentration camp. Vedem was hand-produced by a group of boys, among them editor-in-chief Petr Ginz and Hanuš Hachenburg. Altogether, some 800 pages of Vedem survived World War II. In 2003 Petr Ginz's drawing of planet Earth from the perspective of the Moon was taken to the Space Shuttle Columbia by Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, but the space shuttle was destroyed when it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. <img width="1200" height="1818" width_o="1200" height_o="1818" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab4bf9f558d4bf415f5524d8019863a849ba932e3f253c4ed5fa8c55cf0c3d0c/IMG_2295.jpg" data-mid="98300232" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab4bf9f558d4bf415f5524d8019863a849ba932e3f253c4ed5fa8c55cf0c3d0c/IMG_2295.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="900" width_o="1200" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/480ae0dbe5d754c13689dce709f03d202aa4bb9115293fb9ba4016e4e3c8d033/IMG_2302.jpg" data-mid="98300234" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/480ae0dbe5d754c13689dce709f03d202aa4bb9115293fb9ba4016e4e3c8d033/IMG_2302.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="812" width_o="1200" height_o="812" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bd6369cca90790e619bea2379f35b6c723936fc926cf341b16798c283858cadf/IMG_2317.jpg" data-mid="98300231" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bd6369cca90790e619bea2379f35b6c723936fc926cf341b16798c283858cadf/IMG_2317.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1019" width_o="1200" height_o="1019" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/441c1cbfa14e34e3b94ece419f962c2738a3c6a8cb5b478153c36958392fc2e7/Journal.jpg" data-mid="98300236" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/441c1cbfa14e34e3b94ece419f962c2738a3c6a8cb5b478153c36958392fc2e7/Journal.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="742" width_o="1200" height_o="742" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2727b1a1ae1f7c7911e684a57cca401a3081014123bcdf0e53712bf502285d8/IMG_2304.jpg" data-mid="98300229" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2727b1a1ae1f7c7911e684a57cca401a3081014123bcdf0e53712bf502285d8/IMG_2304.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1095" width_o="1200" height_o="1095" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/384c6a8cbe2224a1b3ab1529412d65866460a6b2782e171ea989234c1512287c/IMG_2285.jpg" data-mid="98300233" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/384c6a8cbe2224a1b3ab1529412d65866460a6b2782e171ea989234c1512287c/IMG_2285.jpg" /> October 19 + 20 2019 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This weekend the workshops in Bolzano started.

Modes of Coexistence 4.12.2025 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Remembering the past is meaningful, but its impact on our agency is meaningful only in relation to the present and future. If we fail to reflect on and learn from past experiences, we are bound to be confounded time and time again. Remembering Genocide and its prevention are no exception. Anchored in the interdisciplinary project The Arts of Resistance,&nbsp;Resist Together! Modes of Coexistence aims to develop a toolkit from workshops in Johannesburg and Vienna that combine historical research, critical analysis, and co-creative artistic practice in a dynamic process.&nbsp;This toolkit will then be provided for further use in an educational and civil society context. Thus, this project explores new ways of facilitating and distributing remembrance work through and with the arts. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Resist Together! Modes of Coexistence uses artistic means such as storytelling, somatics, performative methods and visual media to create spaces for encounter, dialogue and joint action. At its core is the question of new forms of remembrance: How can historical experiences, testimonies of survivors and perspectives of the second and third generations be translated into joint action against violence, exclusion and authoritarian developments? Available for free download once it is completed, the toolkit will enable users to conduct workshops with different groups of people (schoolchildren, adults) independently, without further scientific or artistic support. It shall include step-by-step instructions with texts, sources and templates for discussion and feedback rounds. <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/214167d3d8b789afd545c374cddb264f488e131c24a183bb213815fb4c562558/IMG_3672.jpeg" data-mid="251091754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/214167d3d8b789afd545c374cddb264f488e131c24a183bb213815fb4c562558/IMG_3672.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="660" width_o="1000" height_o="660" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6dbc9f5edf5b109417726437d4fd3f5c719f926c377263707c7c6e41817b2326/IMG_3655.jpeg" data-mid="251091752" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6dbc9f5edf5b109417726437d4fd3f5c719f926c377263707c7c6e41817b2326/IMG_3655.jpeg" /> <img width="997" height="748" width_o="997" height_o="748" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8366b412307b72102801c352fca34768fa9e5571c943c8cd8709cff82c228d5/f5df74fc-8b4b-44eb-bb8f-4074870239ea.jpeg" data-mid="251100074" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/997/i/e8366b412307b72102801c352fca34768fa9e5571c943c8cd8709cff82c228d5/f5df74fc-8b4b-44eb-bb8f-4074870239ea.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd0aaa140499d77faba4a734307e68a12ad6a1396e0c2ed9a01d0d0d978fb5d1/IMG_3674.jpeg" data-mid="251091755" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd0aaa140499d77faba4a734307e68a12ad6a1396e0c2ed9a01d0d0d978fb5d1/IMG_3674.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d6b8327db2043975e4cf618b6886b2bb210affa4e9674cfd7a7d3423cf5a96a/IMG_3652.jpeg" data-mid="251100073" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d6b8327db2043975e4cf618b6886b2bb210affa4e9674cfd7a7d3423cf5a96a/IMG_3652.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="750" width_o="1000" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7331f89c7b2f84ce03e8a845738684da40b897254a23780c2e2aaed2a26b77e7/IMG_3689.jpeg" data-mid="251091756" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7331f89c7b2f84ce03e8a845738684da40b897254a23780c2e2aaed2a26b77e7/IMG_3689.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="675" width_o="1000" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b0a1e149a838c1d2cadb791996bb81e83a446771e107be7376886596c700ccd/c0f90c14-3c1f-4b51-92fa-444faf95e105.jpeg" data-mid="251091750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b0a1e149a838c1d2cadb791996bb81e83a446771e107be7376886596c700ccd/c0f90c14-3c1f-4b51-92fa-444faf95e105.jpeg" /> <img width="1000" height="763" width_o="1000" height_o="763" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2abab6ef4c86463ea5503edc8f306b5cc85244152546fe4888fd896b9fc624b/IMG_3649.jpeg" data-mid="251091751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2abab6ef4c86463ea5503edc8f306b5cc85244152546fe4888fd896b9fc624b/IMG_3649.jpeg" /> photos © Anderwald + Grond Programme of the Workshop 10:00 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Getting to Know Each Other: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Somatics: ATM for the eyes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Introduction to resistance/fascism 11:00 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Personal Life Stories (Small Groups) &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Recognising disturbing moments &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;What could I have done? 12:30 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Break 13:30 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Activist Tai Chi 14:00 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Historical and Artistic Contributions &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sharpening Our Awareness of Injustice 14:45 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Coffee Break 15:00 Group Work: Imagine Rosa Riedl, the Guardian Ghost, helping you out in a difficult situation. &nbsp; What difference would it have made for you to have her there? 16:00 Balance Training&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16:20 Discussion and feedback round – goodbye &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 17:00 End Resist Together!

The exhibition’s goal is to encourage critical thinking and dialogue about historical and contemporary forms of resistance against fascism, and to create an open space for new interpretations through art.&nbsp;Newly created works will be presented in correlation with pieces from the MSU collection&nbsp;that relate to themes of resistance and anti-fascism, as part of The Triggers exhibition cycle, thereby creating new relationships and interpretations of the exhibited artworks and the concepts they address. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; At the intersection of international youth work, contemporary artistic research, and political education, the TAoR project also aims to examine artistic works and cultural products based on local examples as potential forms of resistance. To foster a pan-European understanding of fascism and art-based resistance, with the support of internationally recognised artists, young participants have explored and co-created artworks as expressions of resistance against fascism. <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667"

This community of learning included young people, artists, artist-researchers, activists, scholars, and members of art institutions (Youth Club, MSU Zagreb; students of HKB Braunschweig, students from University of Applied Arts; artists from Office Ukraine-Support for Ukrainian Artists Network) who share a common concern and interest in cultural expressions of resistance. They engaged in collective critical inquiry and creative reflection. This exchange week explored resistance against fascisms as a performative, artistic, transcultural, historical, activist, and educational instrument of realizing (European) community. Renowned artists, curators, education experts, and scholars hailing from Europe, the US, India, Iran and Israel discussed openly artistic, activist, and communal possibilities of fighting fascist tendencies. The 10-day event assembled excellent artistic, curatorial and educational practices with divergent perspectives on the topic - from remembrance cultures to art to activism - to develop a new imagination of cooperation beyond friction, polarisation, and wars. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This exchange meeting created a platform and basis for cooperation across cultural, historical, geographical, social, and educational differences to address the challenges of the present, specifically how to find a new culture of socio-political and artistic expression of resistance against fascisms while coming together on a European level.&nbsp; <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667"
