Open networking meeting for more accessibility, inclusion and participation

brut invites interested parties, allies and anyone who wants to work for more accessibility to an open networking meeting. This offers space to reflect on familiar structures and one’s own positions and is intended as an invitation to exchange questions that focus on inclusive approaches.

In recent years, the topics of inclusion and accessibility have gained increasing urgency and attention, but ableist structures continue to exist on many levels and are still far from being overcome. What does accessibility actually mean and how can it be sustainably integrated into the scene and institutions? Which perspectives are essential? How can equal cooperation between institutions and experts/people affected succeed and what does allyship mean in this context? How to be an ally...?

Accessibility

The meeting takes place in a room on the ground floor and is barrier-free.

Registration for assistance dogs is possible at brehm@brut-wien.at or via WhatsApp +43 676 587 8723.

Magazin

In a bright, modern room, about a dozen people are lying relaxed on mats and beanbags. Some have their eyes closed or are gazing calmly upwards. A large wall artwork featuring an abstract pink figure and the white text brut dominates the background. In the foreground, a wooden folding chair with a black fabric backrest printed with brut nordwest is visible. Some plants at the edge of the image enhance the calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Listen to Sick Times by Angela Alves

Why is resting so difficult? Within the precarious and performance-oriented structures in which we create art, it is particularly difficult to consciously pause. As part of imagetanz, the audio performance ‘Sick Times – Resting and quitting as a resistant practice’ by Angela Alves took place at brut nordwest in March, questioning the usual working structures. You can listen to the content here.
