© Sandra Singh "Virtual War on Women" Installation
This moderated conversation brings together artist Sandra Singh, whose powerful multimedia installation Virtual War (on Women) is on view in the exhibition, and media anthropologist Prof. Dr. Sahana Udupa, with moderation by Katrin Bauer.
As digital platforms become key battlegrounds for misogyny, hate, and extremism, the talk explores how online spaces are shaping new forms of violence and how these dynamics can be understood as a growing virtual war against women.
The conversation will be held in English.
