PCAP May 2024

May 1, 2024 Holiday

International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on 1 May. Chose to in the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. In 1886, beginning on 1 May, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday. On 4 May, the police acted to disperse a public assembly in support of the strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb. The police responded by firing on the workers. Hundreds of labor leaders and sympathizers were later rounded up and four were executed by hanging, after a trial that was seen as a miscarriage of justice. In 1889, the Marxist International Socialist Congress met in Paris and established the Second International as a successor to the earlier International Workingmen's Association. They adopted a resolution for a "great international demonstration" in support of working-class demands for the eight-hour day.

Title: Embracing the Internal South: Empowerment in Marginalised Communities, Salam Oida and ZARA (Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit)

Talk by

Salam Oida Collective: Ines Mahmoud & Imen Bousnina, www.salamoida.at ZARA – Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit: Amina El-Gamal, www.zara.or.at

Part of the lecture series Conviviality & Criticality through Contemporary Art and Fashion. Learning from the South, organized by the institute IKL/Prof. Gaugele and Kunst und Intervention/CONCEPT/Prof. Grzinic at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

A presentation focusing on the work of the Salam Oida Collective and ZARA Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit. This lecture will delve into the concept of an internal South within a nation-state context, examining the dynamics of privilege and marginalisation among citizens, particularly the Muslim and racialized communities in Austria.

Through the lens of Salam Oida's work, we will explore how art and cultural projects can be powerful tools for empowerment within marginalised communities. The presentation will highlight Salam Oida's efforts in fostering community-building and addressing social challenges through creative expression and solidarity.

Additionally, we will delve into the crucial insights provided by ZARA's annual racism report, which sheds light on the realities of racism and discrimination in Austria. This report not only exposes systemic issues but also serves as a call to action for combating prejudice and promoting anti-racism efforts.

This lecture talk will be moderated by Anahita Neghabat (Research Team member, Conviviality as Potentiality FWF AR 679) and will feature a discussion session.

Titel: Embracing the Internal South: Empowerment von marginalisierten Communities, Salam Oida und ZARA (Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit)

Vortragende: Salam Oida Kollektiv: Ines Mahmoud & Imen Bousnina, www.salamoida.at ZARA – Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit: Amina El-Gamal, www.zara.or.at

Teil der Vortragsreihe Conviviality & Criticality through Contemporary Art and Fashion. Learning from the South, organisiert vom Institut IKL/Prof. Gaugele und Kunst und Intervention/CONCEPT/Prof. Grzinic an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien.

Bei dieser Veranstaltung wollen wir die Arbeit des Salam Oida Kollektivs und die Arbeit von ZARA Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit vorstellen. In diesem Vortrag wird das Konzept des „Internal South" innerhalb eines nationalstaatlichen Kontexts untersucht. Anhand muslimischer und rassismusbetroffener Communities in Österreich werden insbesondere die Dynamiken von Privilegien und Marginalisierung betrachtet.

Die Arbeit von Salam Oida zeigt auf, wie Kunst- und Kulturprojekte als machtvolle Instrumente zur Stärkung marginalisierter Gemeinschaften eingesetzt werden können. Die Präsentation wird die Ziele von Salam Oida hervorheben und zeigen, wie soziale Herausforderungen durch kreative Ausdrucksformen und Community-Building begegnet werden kann. Darüber hinaus wird der Verein ZARA (Zivilcourage & Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit) anhand seines letzten jährlichen Rassismus Reports Realitäten von Rassismus und Diskriminierung in Österreich beleuchten. Der Bericht zeigt nicht nur systemische Probleme auf, sondern dient auch als Aufruf, Vorurteile abzubauen und antirassistische Maßnahmen zu fördern.

Dieser Vortrag wird von Anahita Neghabat (Mitglied des Forschungsteams, Convivality as Potentality FWF AR 679) moderiert und bietet die Möglichkeit zur anschließenden Diskussion.

Introduction to exhibition making: empowering students to actively shape the display and presentation of their work under conditions of experimentation and spontaneous collaboration. The collaboration aims to situate students in uncharted territories of overlaps and exchanges to reveal new cultural, political, and formal contexts through a greater whole. This involves recognizing the various possibilities and potentials for showcasing artwork within a spatial and contextual framework; considering the visitor’s experience; understanding how an artwork relates to other works within an exhibition setting; and fostering collaborative agency and creativity.
