The NOTE 15 project is a cultural initiative dedicated to community building in the 15th district. In the form of concerts accompanied by exhibitions in public space, music and history mediation are coupled with each other. Furthermore, public places such as parks or markets are places where people with and without a migration background can meet and get together. The pandemic has shown the need to promote solidarity and coexistence in the local social environment – an aim NOTE 15 works to achieve. This can therefore also be interpreted as an opportunity to develop a new sense of neighborhood. With the NOTE 15 project, we want to program three of these meeting points (Reithofferpark, Wasserwelt and Burjanplatz) in the northern part of the 15th district and invite residents to come together in a relaxed and safe atmosphere to network. We want to strengthen the dialogue between art and culture professionals and the residents of individual parts of the district and establish the public spaces as cultural meeting places. This enables and expands the participation of residents in the art and cultural offerings of the city of Vienna. The project was initiated by Mirjana Djotunovic Mustra and started already in 2020. The musical and artistic exhibition/public space installation format is followed by a history tour of the 15th district, carried out by district historian and adult educator Thomas Reithmayer (Bezirksmuseum Rudolfsheim-Fünf haus).
