The established cultural sector is facing a paradigm shift. At the center of this change is the demand to do justice to the diversity of the population. The handbook opens up strategies for implementing art practices that are critical of discrimination, and for reaching new dialogue groups. Successes in partnerships with unequal cultural institutions are analyzed, and concrete strategies for action are shown on the basis of eleven documented productions. Starting point are the insights from the artistic practice in Brunnenpassage Vienna, founded in 2007. The handbook sets practice-relevant impulses for cultural workers, artists, and cultural policy-makers.
Ivana Pilic, born in 1982, deputy director of the Wiener Brunnenpassage, is communications scientist and since 2010 works as a cultural worker in the art social area. My major focus in the art world is the development and application of participatory concepts, in curatorial activities and program development. In addition, she has worked as a freelance trainer in the thematic area of gender and anti-racism.
