Birke (1/23) für Johanna Dohnal

19.7.2011: In memory of Johanna Dohnal, the artist Isabella Kresse developed the project "Birken für Johanna". As a counterpoint to the lack of presence of female names in place names in Vienna, birch trees were planted in 23 parks named after men. Isabella Kresse on the project idea: "Just as the birch finds its way as a pioneer plant in new, not yet populated habitats, Johanna Dohnal has penetrated political wasteland as one of the outstanding figures in Austrian women's policy and has shown resilience." The presentation took place on July 19, 2011 in Haydnpark (1120 Vienna).
