HOW TO BE AUSTRIAN – THE CITIZENSHIP PUB QUIZ 2

Whoosh

23.9.2023, 11am–1pm

Given the growth of xenophobic and nationalist tendencies in media and politics, the London-born creative urbanist Eugene Quinn believes that it is high time to ask questions about identity, belonging, and homeland. In HOW TO BE AUSTRIAN – THE CITIZENSHIP PUB QUIZ, he challenges Austrians to take their own citizenship test. How many of us could pass it? How relevant are the questions to our lives? And who actually composed it? In a relaxed pub quiz atmosphere, the concept of shared identity is put on the table and visitors discuss what it means to be Austrian in 2023. The questions are being asked over the course of ten days in coffee houses, bars, schools, community centers, and pensioners’ clubs in the Focus District Leopoldstadt. And, in addition to this, an info booth and the leaderboard can be found for the entire duration of the festival in the Festival Headquarters in the Prater. No registration required, quiz recommended from 16 years!
