🚨We are proud to share that on April 25, 2026, for one night only, the courtyard of MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien was transformed into a quiet, powerful space for collective presence and that UNIQA SEE FUTURE Foundation was part of it!
Through AWAKE, artist and mentor Šejla Kamerić invited Vienna not to witness, but to be. Hundreds of red lanterns and rotating emergency lights created an immersive light landscape - moving between stillness and alertness, calm, and pulse.
Thousands of visitors moved freely through the installation during whole afternoon and evening, lit candles, and became participants in a shared moment of memory, vulnerability, and responsibility.
“A quiet gesture that turns a public courtyard into a shared moment of presence.”
AWAKE was more than an installation. It was a vigil. A collective breath.
We are thrilled that we were able to share this special moment with our partners and friends MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien, Nomad, Nomarts, Eva Kahan Foundation and Šejla Kamerić.
