The location and its history

In recent years the community farm project of the Kleine Stadt Farm in Vienna’s Donaustadt has been activated and presented to a wider public as a new social center in the 22nd district. Since 2012 numerous civil society initiatives have come together, which deal with questions of community made agriculture and sustainable nutrition, with the participatory design of our living space, with animal- assisted pedagogy as well as with artistic, artisanal and social approaches for sustainable development.

​

Today, the "Kleine Stadt Farm – Verein zur Förderung des Gemeinwohls" is an association of about 20 ecological and social organizations and cultural workers, in which about 500 people are participating. The community farm is jointly managed, played on and cultivated – with great commitment on a voluntary basis. The offer and the previous activities are designed and implemented on a low-threshold level.

​

​The Salettl at the community farm project was originally designed and built as an educational venue for organic farming. Today it is to become a cultural, educational and event center for sustainable development. With the help of artistic and cultural activities and offers, we want to create a place of exchange that takes up the great potential of the initiatives, activities and networks of the Kleine Stadt Farm for socially and ecologically sustainable development – to expand it and carry it beyond the community farm into the neighborhood, the district and the city.

Artist-in-Residence

The Salettl Residency Program will take place for the second time in 2023 and aims to offer artists the opportunity to enter into direct dialogue with the community of the Kleine Stadt Farm and the surrounding nature in order to develop a project on-site. Both during and towards the end of the residency, there is the opportunity to present the artistic process and results and to engage in exchange with the local people.

​The program is aimed at professional artists whose work demonstrates an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach and addresses issues of social and environmental sustainability. The thematic focus of the residency is to tie in with "Utopia" - the annual theme of cultural activities in the district of Vienna-Donaustadt. They invite the artist to work on this main topic from different perspectives and to realize it artistically.

Outcome

Final presentation on June 24, 2023.
