The Archive for Ohnmacht as a part of the exhibition NO HOPE NO FEAR.
__
The Archive for Ohnmacht brings together conversations with activists and engaged artists from a wide range of contexts and places. They address an issue that is familiar to almost everyone, but which in activist contexts, is often taboo: the sense of powerlessness and helplessness in light of facts and circumstances that seemingly cannot be changed.
We ask them: Have you encountered a sense of Ohnmacht in your activist work? Have you experienced moments in which you feel overwhelmed by such feelings? And if so, how do you deal with them – and how did you keep going?
Accompanied by drawings by Ivana Bugarinović, a selection of 12 interviews can be listened to via loudspeakers in the main space. Selections or in some cases the full versions of the interviews can be found in the online archive: www.forumstadtpark.at/ohnmacht_archive
