THE VIENNA PROJECT

The Vienna Project is a new social action memorial project, situated on the streets of Vienna. The Vienna project opened on October 23, 2013 and will conclude on October 18, 2014.

The Vienna Project is the first public art memorial of its kind in Europe and the first public naming memorial in Vienna to symbolically represent, in a differentiated format, the multiple groups of persecuted victims and dissidents of National Socialism, on record within a given country, murdered between 1938-1945. A multi-dimensional, interactive, interdisciplinary project, The Vienna Project forges a dynamic relationship between performance art, video and new technologies, typography and street art, web design, history, archival research, and Holocaust education. Occurring in the public space, the project  joins history with memory, and collaboration with participation.

The Vienna Project has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for the project’s culminating event, the “Naming Memorial” at Josefsplatz in Vienna. The campaign is coordinated by Hesper Juhnke, and supported by the Friends of 1938 Committee, meeting in Cambridge, MA. Click >here< to view and donate to The Vienna Project’s Kickstarter.
