o.heimArt festival 2026 - Festival program & formats for the collective expression of opinion and artistic moderation

Ottensheim, once a strategic place of uprising, is now a creative center on the Danube. In cooperation with the communale oö 2026, the o.heimArt Festival invites you to an open weekend with street food, street art and music, framed by readings from the LiteraturSchiff and an artistic program from the communale oö 2026. Courage for the Kuma bridle is shown here in diversity, lived neighborhood and artistic openness - gscheckat, colorful & offm.

Program GIG - Gallery in the Glass House
10:00 - 11:30 Courage Matinée - a morning for cohesion (with Kira Schinko, Katha Häckel-Schinkinger and many more)
Coffee, croissants, a long table and an invitation to really listen to each other. The Courage Matinée opens up a space for encounters, contradictions and shared thoughts about living together in Ottensheim. Hosea Ratschiller sets the prologue, Katha Häckel-Schinkinger and other voices provide impulses. Kira Schinko moderates. Conversations become sentences, sentences become small manifestos: for an Ottensheim that endures differences and retells cohesion.

An entertaining walk takes a closer look at local history and links it to current issues in an exciting way. This opens up new perspectives on familiar places and surprising references to the present.

16:00 "Courage & civil courage, then and now" - dialog format with Gabriele Salomon & Birgit Kropik
The Bohm dialog circle enables a value-free exchange of perceptions and perspectives. A speech symbol ensures the participation of everyone and thus promotes understanding and equal exchange (60-90 minutes).
