Exhibition Opening: Muslim*Contemporary 2024
“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. Are We Too Muslim for This Country?”
This program takes place within the framework and in cooperation with the following projects and partners: FWF-PEEK AR 679 Conviviality as Potentiality, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna; Muslim*Contemporary by Salam Oida; Coordination Office for the Advancement of Women | Gender Studies | Diversity, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Salam Oida invites you to this year’s edition of Muslim*Contemporary, stepping into a world of fairy tales and dreams while raising profound questions about identity, belonging, and social participation. Through performances, exhibitions, and discussions, the festival amplifies the often-unheard voices of artists affected by racism and discrimination, bringing them into public spaces. Under the motto, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, are we too Muslim/too Black/too migrant for this country?" the festival critically examines structural challenges within Austria's art and cultural sector. Together, we create spaces where dreams and desires can flourish and new narratives come to life.
