We are pleased to invite you to join us on Saturday, 25 April 2026, in the MuseumsQuartier courtyard, Vienna, where Šejla Kamerić will present AWAKE, a new site-specific public light installation. AWAKE transforms the MuseumsQuartier courtyard into a space reminiscent of a vigil, a temporary site of shared reflection that resists certainty and fixed narratives. For one evening, we gather to light a candle as an attentive community, reflecting on shared vulnerability. This is a call for remembrance and active vigilance.

Working across disciplines and boundaries, Kamerić’s politically engaged practice explores collective vigilance and civic empathy in times of political crisis. Projects such as EU/Others (2000), Bosnian Girl (2003), and CEASE (2024) have repeatedly transformed public space into a site of reflection on shared responsibility. Initiated by MuseumsQuartier in Vienna and Nomad – The Croatian Office for Contemporary Art in Zagreb, and supported by the UNIQA SEE Future Foundation and the Dr. Éva Kahán Foundation.
