    2 years Drawing & Reflecting - DISPOSITION ACT 

    While artistic education was radically rethought in the 20th century, nude drawing as a teaching format has not been fundamentally reformed since the 19th century. As an integral part of the teaching program at contemporary art academies, it is largely continued and valued in its historical form or in close reference to it.

    Candy Girls. Sexismus in der Musikindustrie
    (Ort: Raum HS 383, Universität Salzburg, Rudolfskai 42) Sonja Eismanns neuste Publikation Candy Girls. Sexismus in der Musikindustrie (Nautilus: September 2025) ist eine so wütende wie lehrreiche Mischung aus Analyse und Abrechnung, die zeigt, wie tief Sexismus und Ageismus in die Musikindustrie eingeschrieben sind, wie wir als Konsument*innen den male gaze erlernt und verinnerlicht haben, wie Missbrauch und Pädosexualität in fast allen Szenen und Genres akzeptiert werden.
