Fragile Foundations

Exhibition

01.05. - 13.06.2025
Improper Walls
Reindorfgasse 42, 1150 Wien

The exhibition Fragile Foundations: Art, Mental Health, and Housing Precarity is a continuation of the series that has been organized annually since 2020 in connection with Mental Health Awareness Month. This year, the project focuses on the complexities of housing (in)stability, featuring four artistic positions selected through an open call. Using various media, the artists draw attention to the privatization of social housing and public spaces, the vulnerability and risks associated with the arrival of migrants in Vienna, and expand the understanding of the issue beyond physical instability to include existential homelessness caused by displacement, war, and colonial violence. All selected works serve as a reminder of our individual and collective power – a call to action – to claim space and organize against oppression.

The exhibition is accompanied by a public program consisting of two screenings, a lecture-performance, and a discussion.
