Hof der Kulturen: An Engaging Pilot Project for Cultural Exchange in Vienna

Hof der Kulturen is a pilot project at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art, transforming the museum's inner courtyard into an open space for craft, learning, and community exchange. Running from March 2024 to June 2026, it explores themes of migration and cultural influences in Vienna through hands-on workshops that connect with the museum's collections.

The 'Hof der Kulturen' (Courtyard of Cultures) is a pilot project at the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art, conceived as an open space for craft and community gathering. From March 1, 2024, to June 26, 2026, the museum's inner courtyard is envisioned as a dynamic area for hands-on activities, learning, and exchange. The project aims to connect people through shared experiences in ateliers and workshops where they can create, learn from each other, and collectively unlearn. It bridges craft and cultural work, viewing manual activities as a catalyst for unexpected encounters and engagement with the surrounding world. Centered on Vienna's identity as a city shaped by migration and diverse cultural influences, the project invites active participation in workshops that integrate the museum's collections as thematic anchors. It fosters an environment where people from various backgrounds can engage, share knowledge, and explore contemporary issues through creative practice. The project also highlights related past exhibitions, such as 'Dings happen - Hands-on in die Zukunft,' and lists numerous collaborators, current and past fellows, and project team members involved in its realization.
