We are visible! Feminist interventions on the Linz Women's Report

Meeting point: 8 pm (sharp!) Linz main square / Neptune fountain

Women's suffrage was fought for 100 years ago, the abortion solution 40 years ago, in 2019 Austria had a female chancellor for the first time but never a female president. On average, women* in Austria still receive 43% less pension and in 2016, women* in Linz only earned 61% of the gross salary of men* in Linz. Linz has never had a female mayor and throughout Austria there are more mayors called Josef than female mayors in total. These are just some of the facts that prove that women* are still structurally disadvantaged in Linz and that both their demands and their promotion must be taken seriously!

Social, political and economic equality will be demanded loudly and visibly in Linz on June 28. The main square will become a projection screen for the present and utopia. Women* from different walks of life will interact with passers-by and the public. The private and the political as a theatrical interplay culminate in a visual storm of large-scale text interventions. An ode to the women* of Linz for the courage of self-determination, freedom and equality
