Saturday, 16.07.2022

19:00: At 8pm "Community of Grieving" – a multimedia music performance developed by the artists, composers and music producers Zosia Hołubowska and Julia Giertz starts at Orpheum Extra. Free admission! The event starts on time – no late entry!

16:00: Economy in Transition - It’s the economy! Which economy? Whether it's the construction industry or the culture sector, the food trade, or the energy market – the CO2 footprint is too large, the imaginative horizon too small.
Even in 2022, it is still standard in universities, companies or in public tenders and contracts to make business calculations without calculating social and ecological follow-up costs. The bill is presented to us by nature and shows: the future is not priced in.

A conversation with Jacob Sylvester Bilabel, Theresa Imre, David Steinwender, Elisabeth Hufnagl und Andreas Sator – 5pm at Heimatsaal.

12:00: The Discourse programme at Elevate starts today at 1pm with a presentation by Lyana Mytsko on art and therapy at the Lviv Municipal Art Center in Ukraine. Those who cannot be present in the home hall can follow this and all other contributions in the discourse programme via livestream.

15:00: At 4 pm Utrumque will present their interactive installation "work" at Forum Stadtpark - definitely worth a visit!

20:00: Tonight at 9pm there will be a very special sound experience in the Dom im Berg. The piece "GLOP II", composed by musician and composer Gottfried Krienzer, will be performed, in which 12 percussionists will guide us through their worlds of sound. Afterwards, the American artist Carmen Villain will perform and enchant us with atmospheric sounds. Finally, "schtum" will honour the Dom im Berg with oscillating rhythms from their analogue equipment.

17:00: The show continues at 6pm in Forum Stadtpark with Utrumque, who have developed "work", a three-hour interactive installation that can be heard in the Forum Stadtpark as well as being played outside in the park via a PA - it's definitely worth a visit!

16:00: Let's go to Heimatsaal, where at 5pm there will be an artist talk with the Ukrainian rapper Alyona Alyona, who will talk with Johanna Mayr-Keber aka Joja not only about herself and her music, but also about her role in the brutal war of aggression that is shaking Ukraine.

09:00: The discourse programme at Elevate starts today in Heimatsaal of the Volkskundemuseum at 11am with a brunch - musically supported by Joja - and afterwards it continues with a lecture by Daniel Görtz aka Hanzi Freinacht on "The Listening Society".
