About the
Exhibition

C-TV is moving into the Kunsthaus. A medium from a better future, one in which the world is different. What is the norm and normality, what is generally considered to be ability or completeness: these have long given way to a place of multiplicity, in which people with disabilities enrich life with finery and pomp.


C-TV is utopia

‘C-TV is a television broadcaster opposed to the tyranny of a heteronormative and ableist society – radical, critical of representation, humorous and barrier-free: an emancipatory realignment of the media world as a contribution to the shift in the earth’s social atmosphere.’  (Michelle Koch / Diagonale-Katalog´23)

An exhibition-based and educational intervention by film-makers and authors Eva Egermann and Cordula Thym, who were awarded the Diagonale Prize for Innovative Film in 2023 for the cult film C-TV. (Wenn ich Dir sage, ich habe Dich gern …).

The Diagonale Festival trailer is also created as part of the exhibition. This will be shown in cinemas throughout Austria from April 2024 on.
