Then as now, the STWST works from an attitude of self-empowerment between art, media, music and the social sphere. **The current film project 'Herzblutwiese Stadtwerkstatt' addresses** passions, struggles and the underrepresentation of women in the midst of this scene. Feminism, equal rights and equality are negotiated in an environment of aesthetic innovation, social revolt, subversive power as well as artistic and technological developments. It is about specifics of the scene, larger social questions and artistic, social and emancipative potentials that are carried forward into the present. **The HERZBLUTWIESE STADTWERKSTATT project was initiated by** Stadtwerkstatt, Tanja Brandmayr and Claudia Dworschak. **It began with initial research in 2020**. **COMPLETION DATE is spring 2026**. ---- \\ === About the background === **The history of the Stadtwerkstatt (STWST) begins in 1979** and develops as an autonomous structure. It emerged as a utopia of art and life, or of a concept of living and working, characterized by the manifestos of the younger avant-garde, by a rejection of a bourgeois culture, and by a critique of the still authoritarian-influenced postwar society. The Stadtwerkstatt asserted itself between the struggle for housing, social change, and art. **Since the 1980s and even before digital media,** interactive, hybrid media and telematic formats and a process art as media art emerged. The emergence of the net culture initiative servus.at (1996) and the free radio station FRO (1998) can also be understood historically from these intensive, also highly political debates in the field of art and media. Both developed from the environment of the STWST and are still working in the house of the STWST. **The Stadtwerkstatt was founded as a free artists' collective,** shaped Linz's urban history as well as early media art history since the 1980s, and is still an autonomous cultural house in Linz that operates between art, society, and the catchphrases "instigation of initiative" or "transformation of art and society." Today, the Stadtwerkstatt association consists of the departments New Art Contexts, a media area, the music club and the social spheres of the public areas of the house - the areas work intertwined. **However, the house's history, which is in itself resistant, also reflects conformist social processes:** women have played a significant role in various areas of the STWST, have held key positions, have done political work, and have made art. However, a sustained presence and visibility of women has not been established, or at least not enough. ---- \\ === As an INTRO: From the off === {{:history:left_off.jpg?450nolink|}} //[ ... ] So the questions about why this film ... the Stadtwerkstatt from a feminist perspective ... That was actually immediately understandable ... ... very carried the whole thing ... There were clear reactions that it was high time ... ... an important project, as far as the house is concerned ... ... ... but also in general, concerning the time, the bigger whole of the society ... [ ... ] Many had something to overcome especially in the early days of the house ... ... ... what one had to deal with permanently and has to deal with ... the small town, the small-mindedness, family damages ... a restrictive society ... authorities ... and again authorities ... and no place for anyone ... ... and then an association gets to work ... starts to create a place for itself with actionism and art ... according to its own rules ... [ ... ] And this in turn also causes fights [ ... ] One could bracket a research about the STWST with many thematic approaches ... with art and life, for example ... the hodgepodge of people ... the early housing project, the housing struggle ... the autonomous cultural association ... ... the publicity that was generated ... ... the self-empowerment, appropriation ... in the core of art and media art projects ... Until today these fields of action exist ... and have continued and developed ... ... and until today art, music, nightlife, subculture ... ... ... and of course conflicts [ … ] ... ... and then the so-called STWST aesthetics over the years ... a la "STWST has always done everything differently" ... andandand ... [ … ] ... and now ... ... now we come along with the women ... regarding feminism, basic things have been developed in the house ... and as we know, it is an anachronism to talk about men and women... ... and very soon we had this word, ... ... the "Herzblutwiese" ... ... ... the term already came up when we generally dealt with the Stadtwerkstatt archive ... ... and there was always again: So much heart blood on the Herzblutwiese ... ...

In post-fascism, a new understanding of society and culture emerges in an open collective of young people. In its early days, it is artists and initiators who call for so-called “urban ecology” and the struggle for housing. At the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s, the city of Linz seems unprepared for autonomous structures. Politics and state authorities intervene. \\ Impressions from the film {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_22_gudrun.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_23_1_chriszigons_dogs.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_41_martina_kornfehl.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_36_monika_pichler.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_63_chrisalthaler.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_73_2_sabinebitter.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_74_magineumann.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_79_erikawolfinger_name.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_43_claudia_hochedlinger.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:brigitte_schober.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:karin_binder.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:helga_innerhofer.jpg?200nolink|}} \\ The credo of “art and life” is evident in all genres and activities associated with the Stadtwerkstatt. Women's collectives, women's shelters, women's days. The Bible is wrong, but people get married anyway—as a happening. In addition to pushing forward into the new, into a shared future, into the completely unknown, the women of the Stadtwerkstatt act inclusively. Despite upheaval, radicalism, and a spirit of new beginnings, feminism remains cautious and allows new, subversive possibilities and spaces to develop. \\ Impressions from the film {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_8_clubderpolitischinteressiertenfrau.jpg?202nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_10_frauensache.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_9_frauenhausbesetzung.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_17_clubalternativ.jpg?202nolink|}} Impressions Stadtwerkstatt Archive {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:dscn6846_4_1.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:dscn6846_5_2.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:dscn7166.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:dscn7620_1988.jpg?200nolink|}} \\ Between discussion and curation, between event organization and happening, the people of STWST are saving the building threatened with demolition—through art. The autonomous squatter project “Stadtwerkstatt” lives through and with its artists and residents. From within, the //counterculture// of Stadtwerkstatt grows rhizomatically, organically, wildly. In public, the actors take a constructive stand, demanding spaces for the women of the city in general and focusing on equitable participation. They work collectively on an alternative lifestyle for a new generation. \\ Impressions from the film {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_14_rosenstrasse.jpg?202nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_15_polizei.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_16_polizei2.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_25_stwst_stadt.jpg?202nolink|}} \\ During a long period of constant financial hardship and a lack of legal framework for media and art production, Stadtwerkstatt finds its aesthetic in experimental formations within an open collective. The Stadtwerkstatt governs itself in the first formats of the Ars Electronica Festival, breaks the mold, and involves the population in the city center in its art. This is where //art in public space// happens. Brave new city: The Stadtwerkstatt becomes a serious player in the Alturfahr Ost district, which is threatened with demolition. \\ Impressions from the film {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_45_grasteppich2.jpg?202nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_60_singingpool.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_61_woman.jpg?200nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_64_blackstageblacktracks.jpg?200nolink|}} \\ {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:0_21_asi.jpg?400nolink|}} {{:history:herzblutwiese_stadtwerkstatt:fina.jpg?390nolink|}} \\ **Invited women**: Gudrun Bielz, Magi Neumann, Brigitte Schober, Astrid Esslinger, Claudia Hochedlinger, Erika Wolfinger, Fina Esslinger, Christine Zigon, Monika Pichler, Helga Innerhofer, Karin Binder, Martina Kornfehl, Chris Althaler, Sabine Bitter. \\ **Projekte:** [[https://newcontext.stwst.at/en/history/video/haeuserkampf_auo|Hausbesetzung]], Filmhochschule COOP London (1980), Filmhochschule (1980), Ist Linz noch zu retten?
