Weltmuseum Wien × CEU SYMPOSIUM with contributions by Gewächshaus:
Critical Fabulation and Anonymity in the Weltmuseum Wien’s Photography Collection, Gewächshaus presents: Cinematic approaches to reconstructing from apparent absence.
Featuring filmmakers: Tayla Myree (
@everythingtmy ), Melanie Sien Min Lyn (
@xiumin3k ), Mara Chavez (

Join us for a symposium and peer exchange engaging with sensitive and often unseen photographic archives. The programme explores experimental narrative forms and asks how histories can be reconstructed from absence - and who gets to tell them.
Through talks, screenings, and discussion, the session brings community-based artistic practice into dialogue with academic and institutional frameworks. Developed in the context of the
@weareceu x
@weltmuseumwien course on “Photographer Unknown,” the event reflects on anonymity, power, and archival gaps - opening space for speculative approaches that re-read, re-imagine, and expand access to museum collections.
