Stories from Wiepersdorf
Fellows of the Cultural Foundation publish stories about their experiences and thoughts during their residency at Schloss Wiepersdorf. The latest post, titled “All States of Being”, was written by author Bettina Gärtner. The text weaves together Vienna and Wiepersdorf, and the present with the year 2018, when she had been there as a fellow before.
