Debating and contesting continuities and ruptures of colonial, fascist, and Nazi practices in Austria
An exhibition project by and with Petja Dimitrova, Lina Dokuzović, Eduard Freudmann, Can Gülcü, Ana Hoffner and Ivan Jurica
with Ljubomir Bratić/Richard Ferkl, Marina Gržinić/Aina Šmid (in collaboration with Zvonka Simčič), Nina Höchtl, kegnschtelik – Yiddish Resistance 3.0, maiz – Autonomous Center by and for Migrant Women, Marcel Mališ, Ivana Marjanović, MigrafonA, Katharina Morawek, Platform History-Politics, Research Group on Black Austrian History and Present, Marika Schmiedt.
Departing from Austria’s involvement in colonial practices, in both the present and the past, as well as its crossovers to imperial and fascist policies of expansion, the exhibition collects artistic positions that examine these practices and oppose them through resistant strategies. Multi-dimensional perspectives on interwoven pasts should thereby challenge existing competitions of memory and open up spaces of action for contemporary processes of political and anti-racist self-empowerment.
