The Summer School under the title The Lost Art of Organizing Solidarity will take place from May 30 to June 2, 2024, as part of the Wiener Festwochen | Free Republic Vienna at the Volkskundemuseum Wien. European Alternatives' School of Transnational Organizing will bring together migrants and refugees, workers and their collectives as well as urban grassroots movements, feminist activists and anti-fascist groups from across Europe and from beyond the Mediterranean. 50 invited international and local community organizers, educators and artists will meet in the Free Republic of Vienna with interested Viennese and Austrian climate activists and citizens to learn from each others’ stories, skills and strategies on how we can unite and fight across the differences and beyond the borders of communities, struggles and nations.

Archive for Ohnmacht

The Archive for Ohnmacht brings together conversations with activists and engaged artists from a wide range of contexts and places. They address an issue that is familiar to almost everyone, but which in activist contexts, is often taboo: the sense of powerlessness and helplessness in light of facts and circumstances that seemingly cannot be changed.
We ask them: Have you encountered a sense of Ohnmacht in your activist work? Have you experienced moments in which you feel overwhelmed by such feelings? And if so, how do you deal with them – and how did you keep going?
Accompanied by drawings by Ivana Bugarinović, a selection of 12 interviews can be listened to via loudspeakers in the main space. Selections or in some cases the full versions of the interviews can be found in the online archive.

Interviews with Doro Blancke, Dóra Denerak Galyas, Djif Djimeli, Nina Khyzhna, Seyda Kurt, Daria Kinga Majewski, Sónia Melo, Mirko Messner, Livinus Nwoha, Andreas Peham, Maike Plath, Norbert Prinz, Leon Ranz, Milo Rau, Rúbia Salgado, Ipek Yüksek, Csilla, Eylem, Tariq und Zeyn.
