Dialogue & Partnership

WHEN: June 14-15, 2024
WHERE: Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Wien
This symposium series addresses the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through artistic and activist interventions, promoting dialogue and understanding within the diverse and sometimes divided Viennese society — and beyond.
In the wake of deepening divisions, dehumanisation, and violence — especially since the Hamas massacre on October 7th and the following genocide in Gaza — the events will explore possible paths to accountability and reconciliation by engaging experts, artists, and representatives from human rights and civil society organizations across the region and Europe.
