From March to July 2016, TBA21–Augarten has become the locus of an artistic workshop, a program of shared learning for 35 individuals who have recently arrived in Austria as part of the large waves of migration of the past year, people from Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Somalia, and Iraq. The program, which is also open for the participation of the public at large, involves making an unlimited series of Green light lamps, designed by Olafur Eliasson, and also participating in a wider educational program.  The agenda includes production, classes, communal activities, and artistic interventions, all arranged in collaboration with artists, cultural producers, aid organizations, university students, teachers, sports-coaches and the general public.
