Exhibition summary

The 'Aktivismus Camp' is an experimental initiative for the Klima Biennale Wien 2024, aiming to create a safe space for over 20 climate activist groups to connect, exchange ideas, and develop new methods of action. The camp serves as a temporary hub for discourse, collaboration, and community building towards a climate-just society.

Curatorial context

The Aktivismus Camp, part of the Klima Biennale Wien 2024, is designed as a powerful experiment focused on networking, exchange, and cooperation within the climate activist community. Over 20 different initiatives, organizations, and alliances are creating a dynamic 'safe space' that offers opportunities for retreat, networking, and the shaping of activist daily life. This temporary location is a site for discourse and the renegotiation of methods in activism, featuring planned workshops, discussions, celebrations, and plenaries. The camp fosters an environment where participants collectively cook, eat, and work together, facilitating the exploration of new pathways toward a solidary and climate-just society. This multifaceted and richly varied negotiation is envisioned to be a community effort. The project is developed and organized by Dorothea Trappel and is a collaboration between Klima Biennale Wien, Wiener Festwochen | Freie Republik Wien, and Volkskundemuseum Wien, presented within the Open Spaces framework of 'before it gets better...'.
