soho ottakring

soho in ottakring is an off festival in a district of vienna with a specific socio-economic and cultural situation. ottakring stands for a multi ethnic community with residents from all regions of the world and walks of life. the festival aims to display the richness of such a vast mix of cultures and backgrounds as well as raise concern about growing social and ethnic hardships.

paint for life will present a selection of photo work taken by students at the owf one world foundation in ahungalla, sri lanka. I was teaching photography as an artist in residency at the owf, the photos on display were produced as part of the workshop and show the creative potential of students without any prior education in media art. the event takes place on sunday may 9, 2010 at the kunst- und kulturverein 'das werk'. click here for more detailed information. many thanks to kathrin messner, doron rabinovici, sybille hamann, helmut prochart, michael wimmer, sibylle gieselmann and blumenkraft for their generous support. if you wish to be kept up to date just sign up for a newsletter in the contact section.
