The Marianne.von.Willemer Prize for Digital Media is a direct promotion of female artists. The City of Linz wants to support women who use digital media as a means of artistic expression and at the same time give them the opportunity to present their work to the public. The award is endowed with EUR 3,600 and is presented every two years by the Women's Office of the City of Linz in cooperation with the Ars Electronica Center and with the support of dorf TV.

We listen to the artist Kathrin Stumreich on "What would Ted Kaczynski's daughter do...?". She spoke about her work at the award ceremony on November 3 in the Sky Loft of the Ars Electronica Center. Excerpts from the award-winning work can also be heard. We also hear the laudatory speech by Silvia Keller, one of the jurors.

Eight months after the murder of Honduran activist Berta Cáceres, the repression against her organization COPINH continues. Neither the government nor the authorities have yet responded to the demand to allow an independent investigation into her murder. Karla Lara, Honduran singer, author and part of the Honduran Network for Human Rights Defenders was present on October 20 when the right to peaceful demonstrations enshrined in the constitution was once again suspended and police units used tear gas against a protest march for no apparent reason. In the feature, she shares her impressions, makes accusations and raises questions.

We took this feature from Radio LOHRO in Rostock, our colleague Momo produced it.

The initiative, which was founded on the occasion of the Upper Austrian state government taking office without women at the time, is campaigning for financial fairness in Upper Austria and is asking for your support by signing the petition, which can be found at http://www.ohneunsvielspass.at/
