FIELD CONGRESS
Healing Common Ground - Practises of Terrestrial Belonging
29-30 November 2025
Vienna
The Field Congress invited artists, researchers, and participants to share feminist and ecological practices while asking what healing common ground requires today. In a time marked by fragmentation, ecological precarity, and inherited structures of patriarchy and domination, we explored how to navigate and grow together, listening, sensing, collecting, fermenting, cooking, eating, digesting dreaming, (un)learning, and walking together in the forest.
Across these days, MOTHERBOARD and the surrounding LOBAU forests became a porous laboratory in which gestures, conversations, and embodied experiments form temporary constellations of care were shared. Together, we attended to soils, waters, memories, and more-than-human presences; we practiced (un)learning, and co-creating on shifting terrains of relation.
PROGRAM
SAT 29 NOV | MOTHERBOARD
SHARING FEMINIST & ECOLOGICAL PRACTICES
2:00 PM - Tea & soft encounters

This session gathered artistic practices that explore feminist knowledge-making, ecological attunement, and ways of unlearning patriarchal structures.

Ida-Marie Corell @idamariecorell shares research into cyclical, sensual, and matriarchal intelligences through Veni Vidi Venus and The Technologies of HER.
Verena Soltiz @verenasoltiz presented her documentary film Girls & Gods, in which her main character, Ukrainian Femen activist Inna Shevchenko @inna.femen, explored diverse female and feminist perspectives within male-dominated religions.
Zsófia Szonja Illés @sensory_placemaking offered insights from Wild Water Country, centering the embodied ecological knowledge of a female floodplain farmer along the Central-Tisza.
Marlene Wagner @mw_marlenewagner lead (un)building sites, exploring feminist spatial practices and collective modes of (un)learning and (un)building.
BANQUET OF BECOMING
7:00 PM - Performative dinner at Motherboard Vienna
With performative & digestive impulses by:
Camille Belmin
Mala Herba
Rogine Moradi
Elisabeth Oberleitner
Juliana Furthner
Stephanie Winter
The Banquet of Becoming invites an exploration of food as a relational medium - a shared inquiry into how nourishment, exchange, and attention can generate gestures of collective healing and cohabitation within the terrestrial sphere. Within an ecology of gestures, sounds, and tastes, the act of eating becomes a practice of co-existence. The evening reflects on how relations between bacteria, plants, fungi, animals, and human bodies shape our habitats, our ethics of nourishment, and our modes of care. Eating, digesting, and fermenting are approached as participatory practices within the ongoing metabolism of the Earth - a material dialogue in which boundaries between self and other dissolve, shaping the ways we know, sense, and live together.

Opening Night for 'Healing Common Ground' Series
Tuesday, 1 October 2025, 7 PM
MOTHERBOARD, Augarten, 2nd District, Vienna
HEALING COMMON GROUND - an experimental, participatory initiative that transforms MOTHERBOARD from an empty space into a living field of collective practice.
An opening evening with a sequence of performances and activations, to reflect and encounter: What does it mean to be part of the terrestrial family? How can we attend to what is fractured without merely restoring the past? To heal, we turn toward the beginning, opening a sphere from which something different may emerge.
Conceived under the artistic direction of Stephanie Winter, in collaboration with Curators-in-Residence Juliana Furthner and Elisabeth Oberleitner, the project evolved through Sharing & Listening Sessions, Performative Activations, and Embodied Experiments.
Each gesture, sound, song, or object leaves a trace, building a temporary archive that accumulates, layers, and interacts over time. Together, these traces form a material and immaterial cartography of collective attention, care, and becoming.. gradually filling the room in the months ahead.
Opening contributions by:
Crystin Moritz (@crystinmoritz) — Video Art
Marta Purusha (@martataradevi) — Vocal Performance
Rozi Mákó (@rozi_mako) — Soundscape
Francesca Aldegani (@thespacearound.me) — Ritual
Stephanie Winter (@salonhybrid) — Textile Installation & Elixirs
'Textile bodies moved through the space, sound and light intertwined, smoke and scents caressed the room, hypnotic video works pulsed, and essences & elixirs danced on the tongue, tracing the first gestures of a shared field of practice and opening pathways for what is yet to emerge.'

DEEPFAKE
Esben Weile Kjær
at Salzburger Kunstverein, Hellbrunnerstraße 3, 5020 Salzburg
19 July 2025 - 5:30pm, 7:30pm, 9:00pm
25 July 2025 - 9:00pm
In DEEPFAKE, Danish artist Esben Weile Kjær turned the Salzburg Festival’s costume archive into a stage of glitchy déjà vu. Historic garments were worn and looped through by performers trained in physical theatre, mimicking the repetition and absurdity of meme culture.
Set within the exhibition landscape at Salzburger Kunstverein, the piece stages the body as an unstable interface, shifting between roles, eras, and affective registers. Here, identity was in flux, history a loop, and justice a moving target.
In the algorithmic dream logic, DEEPFAKE slipped between theatre and image culture, asking what it means to perform authenticity in an age of deepfakes, when even our convictions are caught on repeat.
Performers:
Kim Ceysens
Marta De Masi
Nis Fee Brender
Musician:
Croatian Amor
Performance produced by Salzburger Kunstverein and the Salzburg Festival.
Curated by Mirela Baciak (director Salzburger Kunstverein) and
Elisabeth Oberleitner (eo studiio)

Contemplative Screening & Tea
for Vienna Art Week 2024
Vienna, 10 NOV 2024
During Vienna Art Week we presented an installation that unfolds as a quiet contemplation on the nature of transience. Laying down, gazing at the ceiling, a video by artist Kristina Kulakova played, capturing the subtle movements of local plants, where time bends and dissolves, becoming something fluid and intangible.
Following the visual meditation, a tea-blend of these plants was served, collaboratively created with Saint Charles Apothecary, to deepen the connection between fleeting imagery and senses.

,Mood Hood'
EO Studiio & Sanna Gossy
'A self-exploratory ride. Meet the oracle in residence, answer some questions, and maybe touch her tactile feel-boxes. A little keepsake on departure awaits.' -Waking Life
Hidden behind trees, a secret door led into Mood Hood, a soft, fabric-covered sculpture offering a quiet, tactile encounter. Visitors lay down, explored mystic feel boxes, and interacted with the artist, Sanna Gossy, in a playful exchange of mood and material. Each received a souvenir reflecting their emotional journey. A space between play and pause, Mood Hood invited presence, curiosity and inward drift amidst the festival’s rhythm.

'Disfruta La Fruta'
Photography and Performance Exhibition
July 2022
'Disfruta La Fruta is a sensory experience that explores eroticism linked to the pleasure of eating fruit, as a reference to connect with our nature and sexuality. Fruit is a source of pleasure, it is key to the regeneration of life cycles, as well as sexuality and eroticism. The artist Lilith Malo shares her vision on diversity and enjoyment of eroticism. She invites us to awaken our senses and connect to our body with this photographic record of each experience made in Barra de Colotepec, Puerto Escondido. In collaboration with photographers from the region, Oaxgun and Sebbas.art.' By Lilith Malo
