In the frame of their auf! auf! Artist Residency, Kollektiv OutSight invites you to their experimental workshop with invasive plants! 
The focus is on the negatively connoted invasive alien plant, the Japanese knotweed, that grows around Bad Ischl. Invasive alien plants have been around and spread in/directly since 1492 when people traveled to other areas. As these plants often displace "native" species, they have fallen into disrepute – although originally, they were often imported for economic reasons or popularity. On June 25th and 26th the workshop becomes a place of exchange with live performances on the 25th at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm.
