Ramesch Daha WIEN 1933 – 1935

WIEN 1933–1935 (2026) is a site-specific work in public space, commissioned from Vienna-based artist Ramesch Daha (born 1971, Tehran, Iran). The work addresses the history of the Februarkämpfe, which took place in Vienna in February 1934. The violent clashes between factions of the Republikanischen Schutzbundes, the banned paramilitary arm of the Sozialdemokratischen Arbeiterpartei Österreichs, and the authoritarian right-wing government of Federal Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss marked a decisive moment in Austria's political history and weakened resistance to the subsequent rise of National Socialism.
