Das Motto des Internationalen Tages der Pressefreiheit am 3. Mai lautet heuer: „Eine Zukunft in Frieden gestalten: Pressefreiheit für Menschenrechte, Entwicklung und Sicherheit fördern.“

Während bei der World Press Freedom Day Global Conference am 04. und 05. Mai in Lusaka, Sambia, über diese Themen gesprochen wird, spinne, stricke und häkle ich im Atelier Mitzi für die Pressefreiheit: Mit meiner Handspindel stelle ich aus alten Zeitungen Papiergarn her. Daraus entstehen gehäkelte Körbe und gestrickte Stücke.

Ein herzliches Danke meiner wundervollen Tochter @hasi für die tollen Fotos!

Decay and Desire / bb15 x AMRO / Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour

bb15 – space for contemporary art, Thursday, May 14 at 05:00 PM GMT+2

Decay and Desire
bb15 x AMRO Festival

The exhibition is part of AMRO26 - Art Meets Radical Openness Festival, which will take place in Linz from 13 to 16 May 2026.

Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour on Thursday 14th May at 17:00
(Soft opening 14th May at 10:00)
Opening hours: 14. – 16. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Everyday, 10:00-19:00) 
18. – 22. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 15:00-18:00)

Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.

The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.

Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline

Für eine bessere Welt Apr 16

#Müll ist ein globales Problem – und zwar zu Lande, zu Wasser und in der Luft. Die Spezies Mensch hat es erfunden. Und obwohl wir längst wissen, dass das Problem existenziell für uns und andere Lebewesen auf diesem Planeten ist, tun wir zu wenig dagegen. Kann #Kunst daran etwas ändern? Nein. Aber es kann deinen Blick auf die Welt verändern. Hier sind drei tolle Beispiele der #Littering #Streetart: #WasteLand, "You can't control it" und #Trash #Animals https://t1p.de/cwuyu #artivism

This Yukon artist's beadwork and 'artivism' puts focus on salmon and cultural loss
When the salmon stopped running, Carissa Waugh (Ékè Éwe) started beading. A new short film, "Beading Atsua Ku," shows how Waugh uses her artwork to try to decolonize climate conversations while exploring her connection to salmon, her ancestors and future generations.
