The terror attacks in Vienna on November 2nd happened especially close to our heart with Forward Festival being born and raised in Austria´s capital. Whenever something traumatic happens, creatives process the events in their own ways. Here is our collection of how Vienna gets through these intense times.

 

As if 2020 hasn´t already been enough to deal with and has been hard on creatives and artists around the world, yet another tragic event hit us. With the attack in Vienna, second lockdowns in most parts of Europe AND the US-election all happening at the same time, you might just never want to leave your bed again. The first step to feeling better? Check out how creatives are processing what happened in Vienna:
