My name is Aga Kochanska and I come from Poland. I am a PhD Candidate in international law studies at University of Vienna, for the last few years working at international organizations, currently working and living in Vienna.
I have just joined this Community hoping to establish a network of creative minds who can support an initiative which me and my colleague have begun. It is a Journalistic and Photography Pilot Project in Vienna, Austria, which (we hope) will give the basis for further international projects.
We are looking for “witnesses”- people who experienced on-going or recent wars, massive civil unrest, protests and riots, other kinds of injustice including domestic violence and who can share their stories with us. At this stage, we are focusing on interviewees who are now (temporary or permanently) living in Vienna or elsewhere in Austria. People of all nationalities are welcome to contribute.
Please note that our objective is to learn what lessons those people learned from the traumatic experiences and hopefully learn sthg, positive. We wish to explore the bright side of life… and make it even brighter.
You might have met many people, whose stories are amazing and minds whose minds are beautiful. I (we) would very much appreciate if you can put us in contact with them. It would also be helpful if you first email me (us) short summaries of their stories (our email address is below).
Please also email me (us) any advice on funding opportunities, tips for writing proposals for project funding and any other creative ideas. Each of your contribution will be an asset to our Project and we will respond to every email.
And apart from the above, Rafael, please just contact me and advise... where else in Vienna can search for our witnesses... We still need around 10 people & stories...
My German is ok, but not really perfect, so pls write back in English (or is Polish if you can ;)).
