De Structura
DE STRUCTURA’S goal is to empower young people in the arts and to provide them with the tools to, on the one hand, be successful in pursuing a meaningful career, and on the other, bringing innovation to an environment daunting for newcomers. Leading the project is a team of young artists and art professionals, who through first- hand experience understand how difficult it usually is to build a meaningful career in the sphere of arts and culture. What is the problem? One’s decision to become an artist or an art professional is often challenged by numerous questions. “Art is a hobby, not a profession, shouldn’t you choose something more sensible?” “It is a vocation for the wealthy and the elites, they will never let you in. Do you want to deal with this cruel reality?” “How are you going to pay your bills or get health insurance?” Being bombarded with such questions externally as well as internally, a lack of understanding of the institutional structures of the art world an...

Windmill restoring and museum in Ukraine
I am Denys Kabanenko, head of the non-profit public organization School of Robotics «Forward to the Future», located at Zaporizhzhya, Ukraine. Our team plans to restore and make an acting museum of cultural heritage Windmill built by the Mennonite Germans in 1888, located in the Zaporizhzhya region, Ukraine. In August 2021, thanks to grant opportunity program I-portunus by European Community our team visited the UNESCO Museum Kinderdijk Windmill Region at the Netherlands, where we met with miller community. After the visit, we already made a model of the windmill with mechanisms and prepared a preliminary reconstruction project. We hope that this museum will become a national symbol of Ukraine as an agricultural grain country. It will also become a popular tourist point for Ukrainian and international visitors. There is no future without history.

Youth social graffiti festival
We are a relatively small regional NGO and since 2014 we are working with the youth. Last year our NGO planned and held a 4-day regional youth social graffiti festival “Under the sign of Banksy”. During the festival, we combined contemporary art forms, such as forum theater and the graffiti itself, with lectures on human rights, held by famous Ukrainian lecturers from the Human Rights House in Chernihiv as well as experts in the field of forum theatre. Andriy Yermolenko was invited to act as a mentor for the participants in the process of creating their graffiti. 36 people ages 14 to 21 from all over the Vinnytsia region took part in this festival. We would like to network our experience with the organization of our festival to a national and international levels. A short video about the festival is available through this link: https://www.facebook.com/avtomaydanvin/videos/349046486295304

radioCORE - sharing experiences
Niemand kann seine Situation, seine Gefühle und Motive besser beschreiben als die Personen selbst, die sie erleben oder erlebt haben.

Ngbaka EP
FULU MIZIKI roughly translates as “music from the garbage”, which in a literal sense is an accurate description of the thrillingly chaotic eco-friendly Afro-Futurist collective. The instruments they design, build and play are masterclasses in upcycling. From guembris built out of computer casing, to jerry-can drum-kits, keyboard inventions from wood, springs and aluminium pipes, and old flip-flops used as pads by plastic tube-wielding percussion players, the Democratic Republic of Congo-formed group’s ethos lies in the respect of nature, the celebration of its gifts and the importance of its preservation through environmentalism. The band explain on new single 'Bivada' - “This is for the man who walks without shoes in the middle of the bush to find food for their loved ones, this is for the Congolese women who have lost their lives trying to protect and raise us. This is to all the standing and fallen men and women around the world who wake up with nothing but manage to find f...

On equals: Only your talent makes you special
According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine the number of people with disabilities of working age is about 2.7 million, of which only 26% are employed. Therefore, the project "On equals" was created that progressed towards resolution of this problem: 1. a sociological study was conducted; 2. an informative and educational campaign is being carried out on social networks; 3. we shot public service videos and a short film about the active life and work of people with disabilities; 4. we developed an online platform that collects vacancies from various fields for people with disabilities. Why is there a need for a separate platform? In an ideal world, any vacancy is equally available for everyone, namely for people with needed qualifications and experience. Unfortunately, the situation in Ukraine is different. Based on the experience of nongovernmental organizations engaged in the employment of people with disabilities, there is a tendency for people to be more encouraged...

Learning the Austrian dialect
Mein Name ist Peter Frech und bin Gründer der Dialekt Academy, wo ich mithilfe von interaktiven Trainingseinheiten unseren ausländischen Gästen in Österreich systematisch und Schritt für Schritt den österreichischen Dialekt näher bringe, also die Mundart. Ganz konkret drehen sich die Inhalte um (1) typische Charakteristiken des Dialektes, (2) typische Begrifflichkeiten, (3) sowie Ausdrucksweisen/Füll-Wörter, und (4) auch historisches Hintergrundwissen zum Dialekt im deutschsprachigen Raum ganz generell. Alles was man im täglichen Sprachgebrauch auch direkt anwenden kann. Ziel ist es, dass sich Ausländer, selbst wenn sie bereits gut Deutsch sprechen, den österreichischen Dialekt, der ja wirklich allgegenwärtig ist, besser verstehen können. Das Problem für Ausländer ist, dass sie sich nicht integriert fühlen, wenn sie den Dialekt der Arbeitskollegen oder der Mitmenschen nicht verstehen. Der Dialekt ist schwer selbst zu erlernen, da dieser ja im Reden verwendet wird, und nirgendswo nac...

Dessous : unabhängiger Kunst- und Ausstellungsraum
Dessous ist ein Studio, eine Galerie und Unterwäsche. Mehr noch steht Dessous, gegründet 2014 von Anny Wass und Gert Resinger für eine Basis, die Beziehungen zwischen nationalen sowie internationalen Kreativen stärkt, um den interdisziplinären Diskurs und kulturellen Austausch zu fördern. Das Projekt Dessous macht die Resource Leerstand nutzbar, bietet KünstlerInnen, HandwerkerInnen, Film- und TheatermacherInnen, MusikerInnen, DesignerInnen und IllustratorInnen idealen Raum zum Arbeiten, ein Netzwerk und Präsentationsfläche und leistet einen kulturellen Beitrag im Bezirk und in der Stadt. Nach 3 ½ Jahren, über 300 ausgestellten Künstler*innen, zahlreichen Ausstellungen und legendären Silvesterparties heisst es goodbye Anton-Scharff-Gasse 4 – schön wars! Allerdings gibt es The Dessous weiterhin. Es geht auf zu neuen Ufern. Es duftet nach Schokolade und die Ottakringer Brauerei ist einen Steinwurf entfernt. Hallo Hernals!

Plantstation
My name is Marta Kluba. I am a design graduate from Poland. I have played the violin since I was a child. As an adult, I have been looking to connect music, new technology and design, trying to channel people's thinking into climate issues. In my work I try to put emphasize on climate changes and the power of nature which can change people's lives and make them much happier. First, I have designed an instrument for plants, Fasola si do. It is a wooden box with metal wires, containing electronics. The instrument is programmed to play violin sounds for plants. For my master deegre project I have designed a modular installation, Plantstation, where I cooperated with a music composer, scientists, craftsmen and an IT programmer. Having obtained sponsorship helped me to bring the project into effect and create a working prototype of the installation. To me, music is an enormous, exciting and emotional medium. Combined with new technology, music can create extensive possibilites, ...

Artificial Museum
Our mission is to create, procure, research, distribute, and preserve digitized art of a wide variety of artistic fields. At its core, the *Artificial Museum* challenges the status quo and creates new perspectives of the term museum, rethinking the questions ’what is art?’ and ‘who perceives it’. There are more artworks by dead men stored in museums than can be exhibited. What remains is the virtual, imaginary area, in which there is also an almost infinite amount of space. Instead of continuing to practice the status quo of art in “temporary used” spaces, we decided to just use the space between the worlds on a permanent and self-determined basis, as an experimental playground for reawakening imagination in public space. We resolve this through a decentralized platform using *AR technology* in public space, making gps-anchored artifacts accessible to everyone, both at home and abroad. Our 'building' is based on public participation that can inscribe itself anywhere an...
