Vienna Humanities Festival

Revolution!
Festivals

The theme of the second Vienna Humanities Festival (2017) was “Revolution!”. The talks covered a wide swath, from Russia in 1917 to the events of 1968 and from the transformations of 1989 to the upheavals in the Arab World and Ukraine. We also addressed the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, the Aesthetic Revolution of Modernism and the Digital Revolution with the vast changes it brings to our current world.
