PROJECT WORKSHOP: ARBEITEN ODER NICHT ARBEITEN?
Results of a film workshop in coooperation with SOHO IN OTTAKRING
For the first time our guests were also invited to become producers themselves: In cooperation with SOHO IN OTTAKRING - an art and urban district project - film making workshops were offered and short documentaries were produced in the 16th district. The results were screened on May 23, 2009 in the KosmosTheater and on in the program of FS SOHO on Okto TV under the headline of SOHO IN OTTAKRING "Arbeiten oder nicht arbeiten" ("Work or not work").
About SOHO IN OTTAKRING:
SOHO IN OTTAKRING is an art and urban district project that was started in 1999 as part of an artist initiative. It extends across the Brunnenviertel area of Ottakring, Vienna´s 16th district. The Brunnenviertel is located close to the “Gürtel” a densely developed urban area surrounding the Brunnenmarkt street market. It has an area of c. 20 ha and a population of c. 8000 inhabitants. The percentage of immigrants in the population is 36%.
SOHO IN OTTAKRING has contiuously focused on aspects such as urban living, urban development, artistic intervention and possibilities for participation in the local environment as well as the question of participation and co-determination in public life. A key aspect is the cooperation between artists and theoreticians at a national and international level with various local groups and institutions such as the Gebietsbetreuung Ottakring, schools in the area, youth insitutions, businesses and businessmen and residents, as well as the pro-active use of public space during the yearly two-week festival in May.
