PEEK FWF-Projekt
Students
from the University of Applied Arts Vienna, along with lecturer and artist Ernst Logar, participated in a study trip to Fort
McMurray. Based on their research and direct experiences with local communities, Indigenous water protectors and environmental
advocates, and industry professionals, the students created artistic works that reflect various perspectives on the oil sands
industry using diverse media.

the Department of Art and Design and the Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies, these works are presently
showcased in this exhibition.
