The Vienna Succession

Asphalt and concrete seal and overheat public spaces, reduce the quality of life and waste rainwater. In the Viennese succession, activists from art, civil society, research and participation cultivate the process of unsealing and create new scope for nature and people.

With artistic participatory actions in three public spots, we show what potential lies dormant under the surface of the city.

We unseal, dig, examine, collect, sow, chat, plan, cocreate and produce - together with the people around the openings in the asphalt. Holes, cracks, open areas are offered for the course of things. Qualities of the city are successively „discovered“, nurtured and developed into livable spaces. This is how we create opportunities for action and experiences of reclaiming urban spaces for people and nature. New ways from sealing to discovering the city are opening up.
