Design for every … one! The format Debut of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK highlights excellent educational institutions in Austria and abroad. This year’s guest institution is the Institute for Education in the Arts of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. For the first time, a contribution in this series focuses on the teaching of design in urban spaces and collaborative contexts: The result of the students’ work is a specially conceived series of artistic-performative events and workshops – everything intended for participation – for emancipated (self-empowered) design. The focus is on sustainable and resilient design in an urban context. Alongside students, school pupils also get to act as experts – from snacks, scores, and critical city tours via experimental typography, to ideas for and discussions about a different world. Curtain up for PERFORMING CARE – PRACTICING DESIGN!

The workshop space in the Festival Headquarters in the GASSE was fitted out by IKEA.

Series of workshops “Listening Out Loud”:
Sat 17.+24.9., 2pm–5pm
Performances are often developed in open processes in groups and recorded in so-called scores. This free form of musical score provides the framework for a (collective) action, while also leaving room for the unknown, facilitating joint authorship, and breaking down the barriers and hierarchies between composer, artist, performer, and public. From the starting point of the fluxus scores of the 1960s and 1970s, students develop actions for the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK that critically investigate the city and the public realm.

Workshop “Into the Now”: Sat 17.9.+Sat 24.9., 2pm–5pm,

Guided tour "Zentralfriedhof_decolonial"
Wed 21.9., 4pm–6pm

Our historical narrative has gaps. ZFH_dekolonial joins several initiatives that have made it their mission to remember these gaps and fill them with suppressed knowledge. Hardly any place is better suited for remembering than Vienna's Central Cemetery. Using creative methods, the exhibition uses gravestones and their symbolism to focus on people, works and historical developments that reveal Austria's links to colonialism. It should be noted that not every person highlighted was an outspoken colonialist. Rather, by experiencing and seeing specific places, we want to contextualize their connection to colonialist attitudes and ambitions. Discover with us the Central Cemetery as a place of remembrance - but decolonial.

Walk with Swenja Jurisch, Hind Hafuda, Adam Cohen und Carla Bobadilla

Bring: own smartphone with internet access and headphones.

Maximum 20 people

In our workshop "Sneak-A-Round" we explore with the audience the potential for a circular design of sneakers, i.e. sustainable design choices for longevity, reparability and the environmentally friendly degradation of their materials.
