MEZEKƎRƎ

Festival for Global Majority Arts, Politics and Care

06.09.2024 - 08.09.2024
Volkskundemuseum, Laudongasse 15-19 1080 Wien

From September 6th to 8th, 2024, the first edition of MEZEKERƎ, a new art festival, will take place, focusing on international and diasporic Vienna with its global connections. For this purpose, the art initiative oca: will take over the entire premises of the Vienna Volkskundemuseum for three days to create immersive spaces, transforming the museum into a place that allows for synergies as well as curious engagement with the performances and exhibitions.

With the first edition of this festival, oca: aims to highlight the need for a fluctuating space for contemporary art of the Global Majority and their diaspora in Vienna, curated and designed by protagonists from these very communities. MEZEKERƎ festival sees itself as a pop-up of this new art space and presents a contemporary, international, and transdisciplinary art program with installations, small exhibitions, workshops, music, discussion events, film screenings, a library, and performances, including those by Colectivo Ayllu, Naya de Souza aka LUX VENÉREA, Amenti Movemeant, and GOTOPO, to name just a few artists.
