Kunstasyl: Art and Asyl in Not

This very sympathetic group called Asyl in Not offers the opportunity to acquire objects of art and support refugees and migrants at the same time: KunstAsyl will take place in Vienna October 24, 2007. More than 90 Austrian artists offer more than 100 works of art to support Asyl in Not´s work by offering this catalog of art objects. Asyl in Not is an organsiation to support asylum seeker in Austria, over and over. Many families, although they lived and worked in Austria for five or more years, were exposed to ministerial officers, who repetitively dumped them. Local politicians and communities in contrary helped these mainly poor people, whose families were detached in the middle of the night without warnings. Children cannot even speak the language of the countries they were deported to ... mothers do not know about their under age children ... the minister himself uttered in a local news broadcast, that the officers "were only practising Austrian laws". The minister is of the same political party, namely OeVP, that cooperate(d) with the right-wing FPOe in parliament. Two thirds of the uniformed officers in this country vote for the FPOe, as much as I know.

Okto: AnthrOkto?

Some weeks ago I attended lectures at Okto. Two colleagues of Social and Cultural Anthropology studies were there, too. We had a little talk about Ethnowelle, afterwards. The lecture held by Mr. Jungwirt focused on various forms of the application of rights in the media. Since I plan to start my own media projects in the near future - I got to make a living and pay my bills - I began to read about copyrights and more applied laws relating to visual media and boradcasting. We discussed some quite interesting points of publishing, i. e. YouTube content and copyright laws, or the causes of difference in European and U. S. laws, as for intellectual property rights. I plan to attend more lectures to start my program.
