PIRATE CULTURES: Unter dem Asphalt der Strand

Pirate Cultures: Unter dem Asphalt der Strand

An exhibition organized by the artist collective Sandkasten Syndikat

curated by Magdalena Scheicher

From May 8th – 16th 2024, the artist collective Sandkasten Syndikat brought a pirate beach to Vienna. The group show was realized together with actors from Mz* Baltazar’s Laboratory, RAD Performance, Kollektiv Raumstation, Friends & Partners in Crime. It took place at the imposing former laundry hall of the arts and cultural center Semmelweiklinik, a former hospital in the 18th District of Vienna.

Pirate Cultures: Unter dem Asphalt der Strand (Pirate Cultures: Under the Asphalt, the Beach) revolved around topics of re-appropriation, hijacking and (bio-)hacking, body sovereignity, DIY cultures, commoning, care and the (technology-enabled) self-organization of solidarity networks.
