How do societal relations affect health and illness? This first edition investigates the social prerequisites framing structural forms of isolation, examining the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and its consequences for chronically ill people. A central focus is the question of how illness, social inequality, and political frameworks intensify loneliness. Countering this, the event discusses ways to achieve visibility and rethink care and solidarity.
A separate, quiet room is available for people affected by Long Covid who need a place to retreat to during the event.
A discursive evening with Clara Heinrich (Pusztagold, aki verlag), Alex Iwanow (Post Covid Society Wien), Petra Schönfelder (Long Covid Austria) and the authors Betina Aumair and Brigitte Theißl (Ungesunde Verhältnisse. Wie Klasse unser Leben bestimmt [“Unhealthy Relations: How Class Determines Our Lives”], Haymon)
Curated by Julia Knaß and Annika Stich
