Tue 03.11BestOff 2026: Artistic Research Roundtable 2

The artists Katarina Matić, Andreas Popp, Hannah Lang, and Neha Chandel present their projects exploring the themes of memory, borders, and architecture. While Matić and Popp examine how stories are repressed and forgotten, Hannah Lang and Neha Chandel focus on how these processes are inscribed in architecture and geography. The artists’ works raise questions about how past conflicts persist in the present and how spaces can become sites of confrontation, but also of encounter and reconciliation. The event is part of the Kunstuniversität Linz’s BestOff 2026.
