Further Information

As part of “100 years of WOMEN study” at the TU Vienna, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in Austria, from 16 May to 16 June 2019 the Platform for Arguments will show manifold speeches and performances addressing the following questions: What new thinking and action does society need in order to break up crusted power structures and thereby (re)establish new shared values? What can "female thinking and acting" (regardless of gender) contribute to? Does it need a new form of feminism?

The culture of (political) speech as an open discourse, as introduced by Socrates, has increasingly been lost through demagogic political speeches, often excluding other opinions - as well as the culture of listening has been unlearnt. The walkable sculpture realized by students relates to the pie chart and questions the meaningfulness of statistics as well as the compulsion to climb up the career ladder. Current action is often one-sidedly driven by the pursuit of economic success which increasingly excludes humanistic and social values. However, advances in science and technology can only contribute to visions of a "good life for all" when linked to social and environmental values.
