Volksgarten: From Rejection to Dream Spot

The Volksgarten in Linz is a transcultural space that, from a hegemonic perspective, is seen as an area of conflict where unemployed, migrants, and refugees are present from spring to autumn, representing a social class that is not heard in society. 

With the aim of gaining a better understanding of the space, maiz made an intervention during the summer of 2020, started by interviews and conversations with people in the park. We asked about their opinions, likes, and dislikes of the space to have a glance at what is not evident for the passer-by. This unveiled the intertwined social dynamics that make it a political place.
