CURRENT AND UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
The exhibition Fragile Foundations: Art, Mental Health, and Housing Precarity is a continuation of the series that has been organized annually since 2020 in relation to Mental Health Awareness Month. This year, the project focuses on the complexities of housing (in)stability with four artistic positions selected via open call. Through various media, the artists bring attention to the privatization of social housing and public spaces, the vulnerability and risks accompanying migrants moving to Vienna, as well as the expanded understanding of the topic beyond physical instability to the existential homelessness caused by displacement, war, and colonial violence. All selected works are reminders of our individual and collective power—a call to action—to take up space and organize against oppression.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
IMPROPER DOSE
Around this time last year, Dr. Ayesha Khan published an article about decolonizing hope that had a profound effect on me. In the text entitled “How do we keep hope alive in our movements?”, Khan discusses the contradictions of hope but mainly the difference between the hopefulness of a freedom fighter and the hopelessness caused by individualism and colonial values in the West.
