Images of women / images of men: How to Achieve Cultural Change in the Age of Digitalisation and AI

Calliope Talks is a new series of talks that brings together prominent women from Austria and the Czech Republic, fostering an Austrian-Czech dialogue on current social issues – ranging from the role of women in the public sphere and changes in culture and the arts to questions about the future in the age of technological development.

The series creates space for exchange, inspiration and critical reflection, bringing together women’s voices that actively shape society, culture, the media and public debate. Calliope Talks promotes interdisciplinary encounters and opens up new perspectives on current social issues.

The opening topic of the discussion series is: Images of women / images of men: How to Achieve Cultural Change in the Age of Digitalisation and AI

The discussion focuses on how new technologies, artificial intelligence and digital spaces are changing our notions of identity, gender, interpersonal relationships and public space. What images of women and men are emerging today? And what stories and values will shape the society of the future?

Participants in the discussion:

• Beate Winkler – Austrian artist, former Director of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, and a figure who has been bridging the worlds of human rights, politics and art for many years. In her artistic and public work, she explores issues of democracy, solidarity and social responsibility.

• Veronika Šprincová – a Czech journalist and expert on gender issues, whose work examines the position of women in society, the media and contemporary forms of feminism.

The discussion will be moderated by journalist and presenter Linda Bartošová.

The discussion will be held in German and Czech and will be interpreted.
