About this exposition

The last decade has witnessed a metamorphosis in terms of the co-development of a new definition and practice of conviviality as a positive, affirmative act of doing in the form of change. However, the pandemic in the form of social distancing, contagion and isolation presents a new obstacle to conviviality. The aim of our work is to explore and develop artistic practices that have the potential to intervene in these disrupting dynamics of conviviality. We start from the assumption that arts-based research can function as an affirmative metamorphic force to deepen and strengthen convivial practices. We will engage in a practice of living together through shared learning in the format of convivial working groups and workshops. This exposition will present the artistic scientific research line that is connected to the FWF-PEEK Project “Conviviality as Potentiality: From Amnesia and Pandemic towards a Convivial Epistemology” funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (AR679). As part of our three-year research project, three Convivial Study Workshops will be organised in cooperation with our partner maiz – Autonomous Centre of and for Migrant Women in Linz; two will take place in Vienna (AT) and one in Linz (AT). In the first year, we are planning the first workshop to explore the global narrative of the pandemic and the social order of distance, contagion and isolation. This condition has impacted numerous NGOs, artistic grassroot collectives and art students, migrant organizations and LGBT*QIA+ communities in the context of the anti-migration and anti-refugee regime in Austria. In preparation for the actual workshop and in cooperation with the workshop participants we will create a Convivial Script — an exposition as a digitally produced performative story of learning and living, which will function as an archive of linguistic, visual, audio, textual interrogations/representations of obstacles to conviviality.
