Deep Readings: Freund:innenschaft II, held on May 20, 2025, is a workshop and reading event organized within the broader 'Through the Dark' program at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art. The event delves into the complexities of solidarity and friendship in authoritarian times, questioning whether the focus should be on 'surviving' or 'living.' Participants will engage with texts such as Lea Susemichel's essay 'Unbedingte Solidarität' (2021) and a conversation on 'Hierarchien der Solidarität' (2024) by Moshtari Hilal and Sinthujan Varatharajah. The workshop aims to bring friendship and solidarity into a field of tension, positing that while friendship is not a condition for solidarity, solidarity can be demanded as unconditional. It seeks to explore the foundations of our solidarities and the conditions under which personal stances become truly solidaristic relationships. The three-hour sessions, including a short break, are designed to foster reading, discussion, and a deeper understanding of friendship as a resistant form of relationship. The event is led by author Lea Susemichel and organized by Joel Souza Cabrera.
