Papa is 93 years old and has been living alone for the past 5 years. Life is different compared to the past: his joints are stiff, body covered up with crumpled up skin, and everything takes longer time and bigger effort. Every weekend he is being visited by his children and grandchildren to offer some company, check up on him and help Papa with everyday tasks. It is hard to live in an old body and it is hard to see a body becoming old. Especially if it is someone close to you.

What Is On The Minds of Viennese People [2022] 03:39
Vienna Anthropology Days international conference 2022
Street art can be a message by invisible people written visibly onto walls, posts, ground, doors, etc. What makes it extra fascinating is that this art gives voice to the voiceless, to the people of the city, to make their opinion public whilst remaining anonymous: in this way one might be able to voice their political, social or personal feelings, beliefs, thoughts and understandings; to show resistance, power and/or agency. Discovering the city landscape through invisible people.
