Wienwoche 2017

A creative and activist festival of ideas that will inspire you to think differently

Wienwoche 2017

When: FRI–SAT, September 22 – October 1
Where: various locations in Vienna
Entry: Vary to each event

From 22 September to October 1, WIENWOCHE 2017 will be spread the message – ‘sweetness of doing nothing’ – throughout the city. Not as a privilege of the rich, but as an aspiration to delink work and working time from nation, state, and capital. This Viennese festival is an interesting creature – creative practices and activism in different scales and formats and from different sides of art and social movements.

Wienwoche 2017 was inspired by a repeatedly appearing graffiti in Vienna’s urban landscape that reflects the plea of social movements: ‘Morgen mach ich blau / Tomorrow I won’t work’. This is not a simple demand not to work the following day – it is a political demand for a different society in which work does not mean coercion and separation.
