On February 12, 2020, the interesting panel discussion "Stand up for equality!" took place at the Willy Fred Haus in Linz.

The discussion was the 2nd part of the 8-part event series "itsup2us" by Radio FRO and dealt with current women's* politics. At the "itsup2us" events, civil society commitment is made visible and demands on politics are publicized.

Sitting on the podium:
Oona Valarie Serbest (Management FIFTITU%), Leonie Kapfer (Institute for Women's and Gender Studies JKU), Abena Twumasi (Chairwoman JAAPO) and Remziye Bogatekin (Institute for Intercultural Pedagogy).

The new Danube bridge will open in Linz in 2021. A recent one-page article in the OÖNachrichten newspaper suggests naming the new bridge after the humanist Johannes Reuchlin.

Film. Talk. Concerts. DJs

"FIFTITU% pres. YU?" and invites you to a brilliant evening at Röda in Steyr on Saturday, February 1.

FIFTITU% pres. the new series: FAT-Talks | Feminism, Art & Technology
A video log recorded in front of a live audience and focusing on feminism, art and culture as well as technology/n through keynote speeches by top-class artists

For the premiere, we are looking forward to Susanne Kirchmayr aka Electric Indigo (Vienna/AT) and Larisa Mann aka Dj Ripley (NY/USA).

What is the idea of queer sound? How to build a synthesizer? Or how to simply create a safer space thought music? We discussed these questions with Zosia Hołubowska, Adele Knall and Violeta Gil from the Sounds Queer? collective.

In the middle of January we visited them in their studio in Vienna. Equipped with gears and posters, the studio offers a space for DJ and synth workshops. Since October 2019, the collective has its own home base, and enthusiasm for enriching the program is thus growing.
