Morning

Feminist (Counter-)Revolutions

The feminist (counter-)revolutions in Iran and Afghanistan illustrate the ongoing fight of women in order to obtain more rights and autonomy in patriarchal societies. Despite significant challenges, danger and repression, women have continued to mobilise and push for change. How can these efforts be successful in both the short and long-term?

Session objective: Building understanding – Build your understanding by learning about personal insights and experiences as well as developments in science, society, politics or world affairs.

//INFO: Circular hiking trail Böglerwiese Hausberg. Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place on the first floor (EG1) of the Volksschule Alpbach.

Afternoon

Fractured Futures: Art Hike

Join us for a conversation with artist Soli Kiani to discuss her approach to politically engaged art. In her work, Kiani portrays the total loss of freedom and human rights. What is the value of self-determination in societies that exert control over people's private lives?

//INFO: After looking at and discussing Soli Kiani's sculpture "Knot" in the CCA, we will gather on the CCA roof for a conversation.
