The theme of the Vienna Humanities Festival 2018 was “Power and Powerlessness”. We addressed the current crisis of democracy, interrogated the rise of fundamentalist and radical forces, and searched for possible alternatives. In the context of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Republic of Austria, there was also a focus on its history.
