Tanzquartier Wien

A meeting place for PhD and master’s students, theorists who want to distinguish themselves in the field, newcomers and thinkers interested in discursive exchange (with or without a degree). After reading a text together, there will be an opportunity for open debate. In addition, one’s research work can be presented and put up for debate, or new formats can be tested in a safe space.
