The Greek artist Aimilia Liontou was recently awarded the Chamber of Labor Art Prize for her project "Utravel". As she currently lives in Linz, we took the opportunity to interview her. In the interview, conducted in English, she tells us about her award-winning artwork, but also how the corona measures affect her work as an artist.

[clear throat] Once again it has happened. Once again, the Upper Austrian Provincial Culture Prizes have been awarded to men* without exception.

And because this is not the first time this has happened, we would like to say a few new/old words about the case.

The Upper Austrian Culture Prize has a long tradition. it was first awarded in 1961. It took until 1975 (!) for a female* artist to be honored...

The renowned visual artist Waldtraud Cooper was the first. It then took another 9 years before Brigitte Schwaiger was chosen for her literary work.
