This hands-on workshop explores the ethical, emotional, and sensory dimensions of AI-driven human-machine interaction by approaching the body as a “black box” both as an artistic strategy and as a critical lens through which to examine how interactive technologies—and AI in particular—engage with bodies.
Past
The workshop explores digital inclusion, technological accessibility, and the social impact of emerging technologies such as AI and next-generation spatial computing technologies. It addresses questions of equality and discrimination, examining how social and gender-based inequalities are reflected in devices, platforms, and digital content, and how these dynamics shape experiences of participation, accessibility, and care.
Magdalena Chowaniec invites all queer bodies to join a soft session of body work against stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Working with touch and body weight, we will help the nervous system to return to equilibrium, release tension from the muscles and joints and enjoy the state of deep relaxation and regeneration.
Alongside the Neurotopias exhibition, we're hosting a Pop-Up in the back room.
Come browse publications, zines, prints, wearables, and more.
Drawing from the theoretical provocations of Donna Haraway, the radical imaginations of Ursula K. Le Guin, and the disruptive energies of glitch and xenofeminist manifestos, we will explore how digital tools can be used not to mirror the world as it is, but to invent it anew. Working with Unity and other creative software, participants will engage in the practice of worlding—a situated, speculative, and embodied approach to imagining space, systems, and stories through the lens of the digital.
How can video games become tools for reclaiming digital space? This evening invites you to a collective gaming session and informal discussion exploring strategies ranging from queer safe spaces and activist interventions to speculative worldbuilding.
Organized by a group of friends, the Memorial Assembly is dedicated to the legacy of Davyd Chychkan (1986-2025), an anarchist and artist, who was killed at the frontline in the defense against russian imperialist war.
How would a truly accessible society look like? Through this open call, we invite artists to envision what an equitable and neurodiversity-affirming society could look like beyond the ‘possible’ and ‘realistic’ solutions limited by the current economic systems, and propose alternate realities that take into account the full spectrum of dis/abillities and needs.
Bita Bell leads a movement workshop based on explorations from her upcoming group choreography project, Dialectics of Isolation. The session places somatic experience at the center of curiosity and treats the body as a site where feelings and relationships converge, inviting participants to sense how presence shapes the quality of movement, timing, and tone. Participants will be guided through breathing practices, movement improvisations, touch and contact, as well as embodied writing and vocalization.
What does it mean to map a feeling? To chart the landscapes of the people and places we hold close?
This workshop, part of the Closer Still exhibition, is a shared exploration of how we find our way through personal geographies. We'll consider how memory can become a place we live in, and how we can document it with care.
This workshop explores three key methodologies from Samo’s artistic research, orbiting around critical archival studies and practices. We will take the artistic research project “Veliko nas je bilo / We Were Many”, focusing on early language recordings of Carinthian Slovenes, as a starting point. Searching the archives for words and stories that were thought to be lost, where language becomes a political issue and a vocalised struggle for justice and recognition.
After a critical exploration of these historical recordings, we will hold a listening session to sit with the voices and ghosts captured within the archive. Finally, we will explore the interaction between language and materiality, culminating in a material-discursive practice where language/words and material become artistic artefacts.
Join us for What We Keep Between Us, an evening of writing, sharing, and collective tenderness led by poet and multidisciplinary artist Tayla Myree.

The habitational crisis is felt throughout European cities. However, not only are homes at risk, but also places to practice sport. The commodification of exercise or the lack of public infrastructure investment makes it necessary to create places of resistance. This performance is about one of these places of resistance, and what does it mean that sport is political.
HOUSE is a film about a queer*trans feminist community house consisting of ten people and more who have chosen to live together and share non-hierarchical, queer*feminist, antiracist, and anticapitalist views.
Leaving behind the outdated romanticizing of suffering and mental health issues in an artistic process, we continue with the Mental Health Awareness Month exhibition series to speak about the effects of housing (in)stability on a creative process.
Through this open call, we invite artists to explore the topic of home and housing and its relationship with their own practice, merging the practical and personal with political and public.
Dusty Whistles will facilitate a space of community archival for the establishment of a public and living archive - documenting and historicizing the wave of cultural and academic censorship within Austria of works critical of the occupation, apartheid, and genocide endured by the Palestinian people. The workshop will offer participants a framework of support in the collective production of short form archival case studies, in German and English.
We live in transitioning times. We choose to transition our bodies; we are forced to transition due to climate change; we experience transition through aging; we demand a transition to new forms of being, in this workshop you will develop techniques/protocols/guides for orientation for when we feel lost.
