TALKS AND FILMSCREENING

For the Talks, artists and experts from other fields of knowledge engage with each other. They look to broaden perspectives and offer concrete visions in the face of an uncertain future. A diverse array of artistic positions is placed within a wider context and linked with current social discourses. Free admission to all Extras, except for the filmscreening with Sarah Vanhee at the Stadtkino.

GUIDED BY ARTISTS

As part of the Guided by Artists programme, artists of the Wiener
Festwochen invite visitors to join them on very personal field trips.
This year, for the first time, the programme includes an Alban Berg-themed walk through the district of Hietzing as well as, once again, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien. The tours offer an exclusive insight
into artistic universes and an opportunity to (re)discover the city and its collections.

REFLECTIONS

In the Field

The fourth edition of In the Field brings together up-and-coming artists and cultural workers from Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia. Alongside the festival programme 15 scholarship recipients have the opportunity to mix with artists appearing at the Festwochen as well as the local scene, find out more about their working methods and, over a period of 10 days, discuss aesthetic and structural
issues relating to contemporary art production. In the Field not only focuses on supra-regional networking and the transfer of knowledge, but it also provides a shared forum of experience for artists and cultural workers as they embark on their professional careers.

Festwochen Campus

In 2023, nine universities from Vienna, Leipzig, Zurich and New Haven are set to take part in the Festwochen Campus, with over 150 students participating. The students will be able to attend performances and
meet Festwochen artists in talks, lectures and workshops, for instance Jozef Wouters, Alexander Zeldin and Stan Douglas. The Festwochen Campus therefore offers deeper insights into the festival programme as well as theoretical and practical incentives for young artists and
academics to engage with topical aesthetic and social discourses.
