The symposium Addressing Amnesia, Performing Trauma inquires
how contemporary artistic practices performatively deal with trauma and repressed histories in Austria. By bringing together
artists, art historians, and theoreticians, the symposium is intended as a first step in an ongoing interdisciplinary dialogue
addressing issues like social forgetfulness, historical trauma, and historical denial within the countries of the former Austrian
monarchy.
With a keynote lecture by Diana Taylor and screenings, talks, and lectures
by Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński, Katarzyna Nowak, Nisrine Boukhari, Tanja Schult, Steven Cohen, Martina Gimplinger, and Israel
Martínez.
