Podiumsdiskussion II – Umwelt

The second panel discussion of Female Tracks 2025 is dedicated to the question of living together in the light of the climate catastrophe and the role of artistic forms of expression in resistance, but also in the development of visions of a climate-neutral and sustainable life on earth. Various voices will explore aspects and possibilities of uprising and protest in order to discuss visions for a good coexistence.
