Am Langen Tag der Flucht laden wir Menschen mit und ohne Fluchterfahrung zu einer kostenlosen Führung durch die aktuelle Ausstellung "No Dancing Allowed" im frei_raum Frei_raum Q21 exhibition space im MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien ein. Die Tour findet auf Deutsch in einfacher Sprache statt.

Tanzen verändert
Wo findet Bewegung statt, wenn sie verboten ist? "No Dancing Allowed" verdeutlicht, wie Tanz Gemeinschaften vereinen und verändern kann.
Viele Personen fühlen eine große Unsicherheit durch Ereignisse wie die Pandemie und gesellschaftlicher Krisen in vielen Teilen der Welt. Unsicherheit und Tanz sind sich aber keineswegs fremd. Tanz kann in Krisenzeiten helfen und die Gemeinschaft stärken. Doch wie kann Tanz wirken, wenn keine Nähe und persönliche Anwesenheit möglich ist?

Der Tanz verschwand während der Pandemie nicht, sondern fand in den sozialen Medien statt. Es wurden neue Formen des Tanzes gefunden. Beispiele dafür sind zum einen der SOS-Tanz von Britney Spears, der die Bewegung verstärkte oder zum anderen family dance battles auf Zoom.

short films selection by 𝐎𝐥𝐡𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 (LISFF Wiz-Art, Lviv, Ukraine)

Right now Ukrainian people are on the frontier of a democratic and free world. Our peaceful land is burning under the bombs of Russian occupants. The courage of the regular Ukrainian people came out as a surprise to many, but it has never been a secret to us. The selection of films tries to explain the 'why' russian occupants broke their teeth in the war against Ukraine and why freedom must win. Discover Ukraine and Ukrainians with the most prominent modern filmmakers we gathered.

Exhibition curated by Bogomir Doringer
Date: June to November 2022
Venue: Frei_raum Q21 exhibition space in the MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien

The way we dance has always reflected socio-political changes and struggles. Throughout history collective bonds and communities have been created through social and performative dancing and nightlife, from subculture to mainstream, from ballrooms to street parades, festivals, clubs and illegal raves. Dance is vital for the expression of youth, and it has been used in times of crisis to unite people and for healing. Dance is a ritualistic practice that is not forgotten even in the most challenging times. Alongside various social functions, as shared cultural heritage dance remains a practice of freedom of movement — and a form of protest. Before COVID-19, the socio-political power of dance manifested worldwide, for instance directed as an expression of the anti-fascist movement, as female and LGBTQ+ empowerment, or against gentrification.

The exhibition focuses on the practices and relations between movement, body and space, especially recently. The investigation follows curator Doringer’s notion of a , which rises from emotions in times of personal and collective crisis to empower individuals and groups. With deliberate social estrangement, our bodies accumulate boredom, fears, health issues, grief, uncertainty, isolation, loneliness, collective trauma, while very little cultural activity is provided to assist us in coping. Where does movement happen when it is not allowed? Or, how could recent restrictions have changed the way we move?

The full participants list will be announced in February.
