Black People In Vienna

Brunch & Book Club
2018-09-01 12:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Vienna) | jungstrasse 8, jungstrasse 8, vienna, vienna, Austria
Since we had a hiatus for the summer, we will have a combined Brunch and Book club as our welcome back event. Everyone in the group is welcome (all genders). It will be a potluck so bring a dish if you can but don’t stress if you can’t.
When: Saturday, September 1, 1pm
Where: Marina’s Rooftop – Jungstrasse 8/46, 1020 Wien
We will be eating first and discussing the book later. There will be many people there, some discussing the book, some not, so please PSVP. If you are bringing a dish or drinks, please mention it in the comments.
For this month’s book club, we will be reading What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky, by Lesley Arimah. Please feel free to join us for an intimate discussion.
Looking forward to enjoying the wonderful cuisine rooftop of our host – Marina.
“One of the pleasures of reading Lesley Nneka Arimah’s debut collection is the feeling of being thrown off balance: not knowing where this playful and adventurous new talent will take you next. The 12 stories that make up What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky are set in Nigeria and the US, sometimes moving between the two (the author was born in the UK, has lived in Nigeria and is now based in the States). Arimah’s focus is on the lives of girls and women, and while her perspective is often bleak, the collection is bracing and varied.” – https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/sep/02/what-it-means-when-man-fallsfrom-the-sky-lesley-nneka-arimah-review

“Rememory: Ritual Blackness and Beyond” by Khaleb Brooks
2018-06-14 20:00 - 23:00 | we dey x SPACE, Kandlgasse 24, Vienna, Vienna
Khaleb Brooks is a multi- media artist whose work is founded on research of ancestral knowledge and oral histories. Through painting, sculpture and photography Khaleb explores the role of memory in disrupting ideologies that maintain time as linear and fixed. By reviving ancestral cosmologies, creating assemblages of fragmented identities and engaging with generational trauma he seeks to re- imagine the notions of progress embedded in colonial and capitalist histories. The solo exhibition “Rememory: Ritual Blackness and Beyond” deals with thoughts and concepts of blackness as ritual and spaces of non- being as well as attemps to transcend these spaces.

2018: Blackout Cookout - I
2018-02-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Wellmann, Theobaldgasse 11, Vienna, 1060, Austria
new year, same need for black space + food + conversation.
please bring cooked-at-home-with-love (or bought-at-billa-with-love because of course that’s also fine) *food* items ONLY.
we pay for the venue in drinks; since we have all of wellmann to ourselves for this private event. (so, kindly: *don’t bring drinks*).
i’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible again; also given that February is (US) black history month.
please note: the ‘blackout cookout’ is a decidedly and deliberately black space which serves its community as an (optional) alternative to the daily, broader contexts we operate and exist in. any queries, feel free to message me!
