Inauguració de l’exposició “Sense sortida”. L’embat de les economies depredadores

Michel Foucalt, al segle XX, empra el terme biopolítica per anomenar l’exercici del poder sobre la vida tant d’individus com de societats. Un segle més tard, el pensador camerunès Achille Mbembe utilitza el terme necropolítica per explicar quines estrategies utilitza el neocapitalisme global i d’arrel colonial per exercir el seu poder.  Aquestes es basen sovint en la massacre de […]

Forthcoming book in 2025: Intersections of Conviviality: Voices from Communities

Edited by Marina Gržinić, Jovita Pristovšek, Asma Aiad, and Anahita Neghabat

Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025

This book explores the nuanced dynamics that shape conviviality and examines the different ways in which individuals within communities navigate the challenges of the neoliberal, racializing European landscape by forming alliances that transcend identity, geographical and cultural boundaries. This book offers a very renewed reflection on different communities that are largely marginalized, Black and POC communities, Muslim communities and Trans*, building their context around identities such as migration, LGBTQI+ etc. and thinking out loud about institutional and structural racism, inequalities and also empowerment. Through personal narratives, academic analysis and artistic expression, the book creates a map of stories and narratives that celebrate the potential of communities and conviviality as a way forward. This book aims to make the voices of these communities heard and provides a platform for their stories, struggles, collective experiences, hopes and visions for the future.

Place: Exhibit Eschenbachgasse I Eschenbachgasse 11, 1010 Wien

Salam Oida invites you to this year’s edition of Muslim*Contemporary, stepping into a world of fairy tales and dreams while raising profound questions about identity, belonging, and social participation. Through performances, exhibitions, and discussions, the festival amplifies the often-unheard voices of artists affected by racism and discrimination, bringing them into public spaces. Under the motto, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, are we too Muslim/too Black/too migrant for this country?” the festival critically examines structural challenges within Austria’s art and cultural sector. Together, we create spaces where dreams and desires can flourish and new narratives come to life.
