Mika Maruyama, Multiple Spirits & VBKÖ and Petz Haselmayer, Decolonizing in Vienna

When the experiences from Japan and Austria intersect, when we talk about growing up in the countryside, when we open up the topics of challenges, learning and the unlearned… how should we follow that toxic heteronormative patriarchal narrative, and how is it when we look at it all from a queer, feminist perspective…. should we be soft, or aggressive, gentle or… listen, it’s very interesting!!!
