Judy in the Sky

2 and 3 May 2025, Vienna

Cel­e­brate in the name of Judy who loved to cel­e­brate peo­ple, dead and alive!

Let’s com­mem­o­rate our beloved friend Judith Schoßböck in this cel­e­bra­tion of her life and lega­cy. Judith died self-deter­mined on 10 Decem­ber 2024 with ME/CFS and severe con­comi­tant ill­ness­es. Her life as an uncom­pro­mis­ing artist, activist, sci­en­tist and so much more will remain an inspi­ra­tion for us. We’ll gath­er to let her light shine!

Friends, loved ones, Black Ferk Stu­dio and the Burn­ing Man com­mu­ni­ty are organ­is­ing the two-day cel­e­bra­tion in line with Judith’s wish­es and plans.

The event is a fundrais­er for research and ini­tia­tives for ME/CFS (WE&ME Foun­da­tion and Aus­tri­an Soci­ety for ME/CFS).

Info on inclusion:

We want to enable as many peo­ple as pos­si­ble to attend and par­tic­i­pate — through online participation/attendance, sub­mis­sion of event con­tri­bu­tions as well as pro­tec­tion times and zones on site. You can find the lat­est infor­ma­tion on this page.

Pro­tec­tion zone at the event

This is not (!) a 100% masked event. Any­way, we reserved a spe­cif­ic time­frame on Sat­ur­day after­noon in which a part of the event (sep­a­rate area on the 1st floor) will be a masked event to allow vul­ner­a­ble peo­ple to attend with­out addi­tion­al health risks.

If you can’t come to the event

Rad­i­cal inclu­sion of peo­ple who can­not attend, in par­tic­u­lar the chron­ic ill­ness com­mu­ni­ty, is in the heart of this event. There are sev­er­al ways how you can be an active part of this event, even if you can­not per­son­al­ly attend.

Send your con­tri­bu­tions — dead­line is April 10th:

Send your art and mem­o­ries (pho­tos, let­ters, small objects, sto­ries) as part of the memo­r­i­al and exhi­bi­tion. You can send things that remind you of Judy and that you con­nect with her. With the items we build an altar and a wall instal­la­tion.

Burn­ing Ferk: Send a per­son­al let­ter or post­card for Judith’s piglet urn sculp­ture. After the event, these let­ters will be burned and the urn will be placed on the grave. Please label these let­ters with “Burn­ing Ferk” so that we know what can be burned.

If you have an idea for a per­for­mance, an art­work or a work­shop, let us know and we will do our best to make it hap­pen.
