Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance

Botanizing the Asphalt

“Beneath the Surface: Deep Listening, Buried Narratives, and Embodied Resistance” is a lecture performance by Luïza Luz, based on their book of the same title (2024, Archive Books & we make it). Combining spoken words and somatics, it introduces deep listening as an embodied political practice. Participants are invited to sense how power and emotion take shape in the body, where listening becomes a practice of awareness, refusal, and collective attunement.

Finissage with Wharf procession

building < against

At the end of the exhibition building < against, there will be a festive exit. With our self-built protest structure, flags, and trumpets, we will march to St. Marx. A procession through Vienna, a parade for more autonomous free spaces. We hand over our structure and warm ourselves by the fire in St. Marx. Feel free to come in costume, as a clown, Pulcinella, or juggler, etc. We will go in any weather.

Moving Mass

building < against

What’s the weight of a ton when distributed amongst peers, handled and moved around with archaic DIY instruments? With Moving Mass we aim to bridge the concepts of The Right to the City, Commons, and Action-based research. We’ll be looking at Mass both as an assembly of people and as the physical opposite of a void. Gravity, leverage, torque; using bodies and mass as means of transgression. Aiming to achieve what’s seemingly impossible we won’t necessarily be.

Wharf Building Days

building < against in cooperation with urbanize!

The Wharf, the “construction site by the water,” is a place for building, learning, reading, planning, and resting. Over six construction days, we will work with you to build a vehicle for protest, which we will ceremoniously drive out at the end of the exhibition. No skills, more thrills.

Thur 2.10.2025 until Sat 4.10.2025 14.00 - 18.00, Thur 16.10.2025 until Fri 17.10.2025, 15.00 - 19.00, Sat 18.10.2025 15.00 - 17.30

ArtExhibitionworkshop

Dyed-in-the-Wool

building < against in cooperation with urbanize!

In the workshop, we will first show a few fun “building materials” from the shelf, talk about protesting, and then work with clay, water, and wool ourselves in protest. This will take place in the shipyard. We want to pay special attention to the use of raw wool for all possible and impossible purposes in construction. The end result: wool paving stones, felt tiles, or even your own little “Wollbau” (cf. Folke Köbberling).

Early shift at the "Werft"

building < against in cooperation with AgidS and Jobtrain

Together with the young people, we will build in the "Werft". Based on the exhibition and the specific materials on the shelf, we will develop materials and props for the final move-out at the closing event. In the workshop, we explore the question of how (building) materials and protest are connected and how we ourselves can create and produce “revolutionary materials.” The focus is on the experiences and views of the young people themselves.
