The show.Room salons are places of discourse and dialog. Here we ask questions, discuss and reflect. At regular intervals, we devote ourselves to terms and topics from the new show.Rooms glossary and explore them from different perspectives. Moderated by Carla Küffner, these salons invite people to exchange ideas and reflect together. Guests as well as participatory art actions are also included.

The SALONS kicked off on 8 MARCH 2025 with the topic: QUEER-FEMINISM. Together we explored: Is there a connection between heterosexuality and the devaluation of women* or the devaluation of characteristics defined as feminine? 

Moderator: Carla Küffner is a professor for the fields of Disability and Diversity Studies at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences. She studied International Development in Vienna and was a research assistant at the Institute of Political Science. She specializes in the areas of migration, flight, gender and queer diversity as well as accessibility and inclusion.
Guest: Rosie Schöffmann is a university assistant at the University of Klagenfurt, Institute for Educational Science and Educational Research. She conducts research at the Center for Peace Research and Peace Education. 
Participatory art action: The audience was involved to create an ephemeral work of art by forming a cloud of pink, neon-colored powder. Artistic concept by Katrin Ackerl Konstantin, Light installation by Barbara Ambrusch-Rapp.
