This catalogue is a collection of many of the artworks exhibited in the recurring art show "monsters&humxns;" by Mara von Scheffer and Anna-Maria Dirrigl (a.k.a. Anna Nave). It contains drawings, paintings, photography and poetry. Mara von Scheffer and Anna-Maria Dirrigl use their art as a form of self empowerment. Their creative work is an affirming way of dealing with hurt and trauma, as well as a confrontation with societal norms and restrictions. They make their inner reactions to their outer surroundings, to discrimination, violence and uncertainty visible and thus take back authority over themselves.
