# The Good Life for All

© Belvedere, Vienna  

In 2019, the *Joint Ventures* event series explores questions of good life and (co-) existence. What does community solidarity look like? How will we remain empowered to act even in troubled times? This program presents artistic projects and strategies around the topic of side income.

A forum was created for the purpose of these discussions, one in which artists and cultural workers, museum visitors and flaneurs, people interested and those committed, amateurs and professionals alike could exchange ideas and network. Four Saturdays this year will feature presentations, lectures, discussions, readings, and performances dedicated to current topics of community.

Each time, a local community project will be introduced or a local building group will present their project. In doing so, a specific format in which to experience the content and community will be created. A Friday evening program of selected films at the Blickle Kino will set the mood for topics subsequently presented throughout the day Saturday.

## The Good Life for All 

Following the presentation of the Sonnwendgarten collaborative project, journalist, translator, and university lecturer Alexander Behr will talk about the current popular subject of discussion – the good life for all – from a socio-economic perspective. After a group lunch break, the artists Christine Hohenbüchler and Irene Hohenbüchler, Iris Andrascheck and Hubert Lobnig, and Isa Rosenberger will present their projects and works, which are informed by a participatory artistic practice and developed in exchange with local communities and neighborhoods. Musician and author Christiane Rösinger from Berlin will conclude by reading from her books *Das schöne Leben* (2008) and *Zukunft machen wir später - Meine Deutschstunden mit Geflüchteten* (2017).
