Sun 20/8, 2 to 5 pm Hand in Hand Crafting the City Craftivism* Workshop & Excursion With Katharina Stadlbauer Embroidering, knitting and crocheting are practices no longer only confined to the domestic sphere, but used as collective strategies in public space. These temporary interventions partly function as a decoration of public space, but much more so to send out political messages (in our case also welcome greetings), thus re-appropriating public space. Workshop and excursion are linked to the event on 12/8 (Gestures of Welcoming), but can also be visited independently. Meeting point: 2 pm at the Kunsthalle Wien. Afterwards, we search the city for sites asking for textile intervention. Please register for the workshop and the excursion: community.college@kunsthallewien.at *Craftivism: Handicraft becomes Activism.
