How to (Counter) Act: Agency and Vulnerability
Symposium

Location: Kunsthalle Wien
Free admission

Most frightening alliances between right-wing populism and neoliberal capitalism give rise to hate speech, harassment, toxic masculinities, and unevenly distributed precarity and dispossession.

What can be done? What can agency in the arts and education be today? How can the agency of art and research transcend the cultural world and extend to everyday life? The focus of the symposium is on agency and vulnerability. Taking action has long been celebrated for its emancipatory and empowering politics. Yet, it is equally important to understand better the politics of vulnerability. Feminist, postcolonial, and queer politics, practices, and theories help to understand better vulnerability as it complexly relates to agency, and politics of power.
