The event explores gestures as transitions between private and communal spaces, across time and cultural boundaries. It asks how we can encounter, understand and “touch” one another today, and how we might overcome fear through an active engagement with contemporary processes of transformation.
Starting from a presentation of the neighboorhood project Raw Matters im Hof, the event continues with a performative statement by Gabi Seeleitner & Christa Stöffelbauer, leading to an open photo studio with Julius W. Chromecek.

exhibition
03/12–31/12/2026
The artist duo Irena Eden & Stijn Lernout are presenting their video work “Circle Surface Sun – Sabir”, the result of their artistic research into the lingua franca spoken in numerous port cities around the Mediterranean between the 11th and 20th centuries. This is supplemented by contributions from Julia Fröhlich-Siegl & Özlem Sultan Çolak, who conduct research on migration and mobility in the Ottoman and post-Ottoman border regions; it was precisely there and during that period, the Ottoman rule in the Mediterranean that the lingua franca emerged.
