10. - 14. 9. 2014 Villach, AT

The production "Why Feminism?", which was developed and realized in Romania, was initiated by show.Rooms and was shown in September 2014 in a vacant business location in Villach. In addition, workshops and contributions by regional guests also inspired dialogues on feminism in Austria. In connection with this, "the transcultural space" was explored.
