trafo.K is an office based in Vienna working in the fields of art education and critical knowledge production. In our projects we question things perceived as simply given and we intervene in the existing relations and, more often than not, using unexpected strategies. We are interested in revealing the structures of media and institutions and in creating public awareness for alternative (hi)stories and images. By doing so, we are concerned with finding out what emerges when different forms of knowledge, artistic strategies and socially relevant themes converge. Our projects are based on collective, emancipatory processes, which allow different perspectives to come into contact and open up new spaces of agency.
