Learning. Connecting. Grieving. laughing. sharing.

Austroschwarz ist aus dem Need entstanden unsere Community zusammen zu bringen, unsere Perspektiven zu teilen und gestärkt herauszukommen. Aus demselben Bestreben ist diese Sammlung von Veranstaltungen im Black History Month 2026 entstanden.

Hier finden sich Informations-Veranstaltungen, Partys, Filmscreenings, Ausstellungen etc., die uns zugetragen wurden. Wir sind bei den meisten nicht selbst beteiligt. Für weitere Informationen folgt bitte den jeweiligen Links.

Manche Events sind offen für alle. Andere wiederum sind als Safer Spaces, für Personen die sich selbst als Schwarz definieren, gedacht. Diese Veranstaltungen sind mit einem *Sternchen markiert. Wir bitten, diese Auslegung zu respektieren.

* BIPoC-only - Workshop on Racist Police Violence with BigSibling Collective | WIEN — TBD — 15-17:00

  • We invite you to a workshop focusing on racist police violence, where we will engage more deeply with state violence and its societal functions. Especially in light of recent years and the intensifying repression in Austria, it is crucial to draw on existing historical and contemporary political perspectives of self-organization.

    Together, we will discuss current cases, historical continuities, and political approaches, while exploring possibilities for action and solidarity. — Registration via Link

Open Meeting of BigSibling Kollektiv – Fighting Racist Police Violence | WIEN — TBD — 18:30

  • BigSibling was founded in early 2018 as a response to — and out of frustration with — the normalization of racist police violence and the impunity surrounding police brutality. Through our work, we aim to raise awareness of racist police violence in Austria, expose the structural and institutional racism embedded within the police as an institution, and make the impacts of such a system visible.

    Some of us experience racist police violence repeatedly, while others are in the privileged position of not being directly affected. United by a shared goal, we work to empower and support those affected by police violence and to make their experiences and forms of resistance visible. We also aim to share knowledge about rights and strategies for action that can help people confront racist police violence and strengthen their capacity to act.

    This meeting is open to everyone. — Registration via Link

Congolese Cooking Workshop with Fondation La Grande | WIEN — tbd — 17-20:00

15.02 Sonntag

Austroschwarz im Kino

  • What does an orphan eat when they receive a warm meal?

    Together with the founder and visionary behind Fondation La Grande, we warmly invite you to a Congolese cooking workshop that also serves as an opportunity to learn about the living victims of the ongoing genocide in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Let’s come together to prepare traditional Congolese dishes — meals that nourish not only the body but also keep stories and cultures alive.

    Workshop Host: Fondation La Grande (Cultural and Aid Organization La Grande) is a humanitarian organization dedicated to the well-being of traumatized orphans and widows in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization is currently working on building a retirement home and orphanage, while supporting 16 widows and 12 orphans. Through informational events, panel discussions, workshops, and their well-known annual Charity Gospel Show, they peacefully advocate for raising awareness about both the positive cultural heritage and the silent genocide in Congo. They serve as a voice for the most vulnerable victims — especially elderly women, widows, and orphans in the DRC. — Registration via Link

* Viennas Afro Haircare Community with Mwita Mataro | WIEN — Brunnenpassage — 10:00-12:30

  • As part of Black History Month, we warmly invite you to join Vienna’s Afro Haircare Community in celebrating the culture, vitality, health, and beauty of afro-textured hair. This welcoming space is for members of the African diaspora and caregivers of afro-textured children — as active participants, not just an audience. The focus lies on sharing knowledge, practical support, and lived experiences.

    A special highlight will be a presentation by artist Mwita Mataro, so make sure to arrive early. We’ll close the gathering with time to connect, exchange, and enjoy refreshments together.

    Feel free to bring a hair or skincare product to swap, share your skills, barber-chair stories, or simply come to listen and learn. All genders are welcome. There will also be a swap table: bring a hair or skincare product, leave one, and take one.

ANTI-MUSE – to those yet to come is a collective performance manifesting the nonconformist spirit, force, and figure of an anti-muse within a fictional world. Rooted in movement vocabularies such as Twerk and Whine, the piece unfolds a narrative that references the story of Black Atlantis. With embodied, sonic, textile, and sculptural elements, a lost city inhabited by Drexciyans is evoked. Drexciyans are mythic water-breathing, mutated beings born at the bottom of the sea as descendants of pregnant enslaved people. This is where the anti-muse re-emerges as an ancestral force of resistance, guiding toward diasporic futures and emphasizing the three-dimensionality of time. — Registration via Link

* joint visit of the Performance ANTI-MUSE – to those yet to come | by ÖH | WIEN — Tanzquartier Wien — 18:30-22:00

  • We warmly invite Black students to come together for a shared performance visit, followed by conversation and time spent together. This gathering is imagined as an open networking and connection space – low-pressure, welcoming, and centered on shared experience rather than formal networking. As our collective starting point, we will attend the performance ANTI-MUSE – to those yet to come. After the performance, there will be an artist talk and time to stay, connect, and exchange.
