Vienna Struggle

“Unstruggle Yourself”

Overcoming failure in the collective – a healing process!

Under the pretence of Vienna as the city with the highest quality of life, people‘s everyday struggles fall silent. Our mission is to collect individual drowning voices and struggles, and to interpret them via our imagining of a futuristic orchestra in songs.

Vienna Struggle is an Austrian based community-platform (association) founded in April 2019 emerging from creative and cultural workers. We are passionate and experienced professionals, curious amateurs and visionaries with different backgrounds.

As artists, developers, scientists, musicians, designers, consultants, students and performers etc. we are united by the idea of bottom up empowerment.

Why?

Exploring new digital worlds gives music novel powerful ways of expression, immersion and embodiment. That’s why the Vienna Struggle Orchestra is continuously expanding its instruments using the tools of the 21st century. As a group, we collectivise in search of creative and economic independence, and to sustain/realise our vision.

Target group

Make a virtue of necessity.

We provide people who want to leave their comfort zones with a safe space where they can acquire new skills for artistic expression. We take our struggles as super powers that sharpen our skills and create a sustainable income stream.

Support network

What?

“For most, a regular orchestra is way too expensive to work with.”

We produce films, shows, events, artworks, songs, videos, choir pieces and installations.

Technical challenges

As a contemporary collective we are constantly seeking new technological skills that will enable us to tell our stories and deliver them to people globally.

Work environment

As creatives working in both indie and corporate environments, we feel the need to take the best out of both worlds. We want to establish a respectful, challenging and well-organised environment that leads us to productivity and creative exchange, innovation and discovery. We need to become powerful without excluding our humanity.

Financial independence for our creative explorations

To protect our vision, processes and creative explorations, we also need financial independence.
