Artists Activists Auction Against Racism
AAAAR was a group of migrants, artists, activists, students, workers,
who
organized an art auction with the purpose to collect money to fight
racist laws in Austria and administrative regulations against those
coming
to study from countries outside of the European Union.
AAAAR was an initiative inserted in a longer tradition of
autonomous groups in the Academy of Fine Arts such as The Darker Side Of The Academy, AG Migration, among others. These
initiatives themselves were as well closely connected to the student
movement protests of 2009. The first AAAAR took place in the Rundgang of January 2011. The second in January 2012.
