The Cathedral Museum Vienna and the Association for a Feast of the Ears We invite you to a joint reading on the topic of work on Thursday, July 2nd. Texts will be read that were created in May during a writing workshop for people with learning difficulties as part of the exhibition "Everything in Progress". They tell stories about work, everyday life, and personal experiences.
The exhibition „Everything in Progress“ at the Dom Museum Vienna The exhibition illuminates work as a politically charged and existentially significant topic – simultaneously a norm, a burden, a source of hope, and a structure. It focuses on the human struggle with paid employment: its necessity, meaning, demands, and design. In doing so, it also highlights invisible, unpaid, or underpaid activities – such as care work, housework, artistic creation, forms of protest, and even procrastination.
The exhibition spans from the Middle Ages to the present day. In addition to exhibits from the collections of the Dom Museum Wien, it includes national and international loans as well as works created specifically for the exhibition.
The association Ohrenschmaus It supports people with learning difficulties in discovering and developing their writing talent. In addition to readings and publication of texts, an annual literary prize is awarded, which includes a writing grant for two years.
As part of the reading on July 2nd, the authors of the Ohrenschmaus project „Literature Message“, Anna-Lina Ernstberger and Ron Pfennigbauer, They will present their work-related texts and share personal experiences with inclusion in the workplace. The evening offers space for listening, reflection, and exchange. All interested individuals are warmly invited.
