In 2021, an open competition was launched to create a work of art dedicated to women who resisted the Nazi regime. Initiated by the province of Upper Austria, the competition was organised by OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH in cooperation with the University of Art and Design Linz. Sabrina Kern and Mariel Rodríguez won the competition with their project ‘5 to 12. Unheard of Resistance’. Every Saturday at 5 to 12, the audio sculpture on OK Platz honours a woman with a loud outcry, mentioning her name and the place and nature of her act of resistance. This unique project creates a place in the centre of the provincial capital that draws attention to the role of women in the resistance against the Nazi regime, a role that has so far received little attention from society. The project, co-financed and realised by OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH, is intended to keep the memory alive and encourage reflection on the scope for action of resistance in different social circumstances.
