Steirischer Herbst ’21: Simone Weil… [nicht zu akademisch]

On 3 October 2021, Max Walther, Tom Sojer and Martina Bengert from the Simone Weil denkkollektiv held an open performance lecture as part of the Austrian art festival “Steirischer Herbst”. The performance took place in the immediate vicinity of Thomas Hirschhorn’s “Simone Weil Memorial” on Esperantoplatz in Graz. The performance was entitled “Simone Weil […] not too academic” and comprised a trialogue about Weil’s thinking, actions and work. We were particularly pleased about the subsequent discussion with the audience and passers-by, among which there were people who perhaps came into contact with Simone Weil for the first time that day.
