Marina Gržinić, Sophie Uitz, Jovita Pristovšek (Eds.), Civil Society Reimagined. Citizens’ Memories and Imaginaries: Democratic Citizenship, Munich: kopaed 2024

The FWF Citizen Science project Civil Society Reimagined. Citizens’ Memories and Imaginaries: Democratic Citizenship focused on communities that have historically been affected by oppression, pushed to the edge of society: Migrants, Queers, and Jews, in the Austrian context. The book documents, how social and community issues can be addressed in new ways, by combining Citizen Science with arts and artistic research. With highschool students as citizen artists and scientists, the project’s aim was to examine critically what it means to be – or not to be – a citizen, and how to develop collective strategies to confront states of exclusion and marginalization.
