This book is the result of the Citizen Science research project Citizens' Memories and
Imaginaries: Democratic Citizenship (2022 to 2024). It documents how some of the principles of
Citizen Science can be used in combination with arts and artistic research by engaging
high-school students as citizen scientists and artists and how social and community issues can
be addressed in new ways. The research project was conducted at the Institute for Fine Arts at
the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under the leadership of Univ. Prof. Dr. Marina Grzinic (Studio
for Post-Conceptual Art Practices) with her research team Dr. Sophie Uitz and Dr. Jovita
PristovSek.
