MA16 – For a Living Monument

Dear people in Vienna! We would like to invite you to the annual celebration of the MA16 – Municipal Department for Democratic Historiography and Remembrance Practice in Public Space.

The MA16 was founded exactly one hundred years ago—on the 12th of September 2021. One hundred years of networking and discourse: we abolish, unveil, expose, unlearn, reinvent. Let's celebrate together and reflect on our actions. What have we already achieved and what are our visions for the future? 

tangent.COLLABORATIONS teamed up with activists and experts and designed a bureaucratic vision: The MA16 is an open, multi-perspective platform for a living memory practice in Vienna manifesting itself physically and digitally.  

The goal of this artistic-activist intervention is to open up new spaces of thought and discourse and to connect different current political struggles around monuments and history narratives in urban space.
