Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7 Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary. One other thing that’s useful to know: - In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us!

## **A Queer Book Club Exploring Gender, Politics, and Power** Join us this April for our Queer Book Club at Villa Vida Café as we dive into *Who’s Afraid of Gender?* by Judith Butler — one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary gender theory. In this session, we’ll unpack Butler’s latest work, which examines how “gender” has become a political flashpoint across the world. The book explores how anti-gender movements operate, what’s at stake, and how language, fear, and power shape public discourse. This is a space for collective reading, critical thinking, and community exchange. No academic background needed—just curiosity and openness. *** ## **About the Book** *Who’s Afraid of Gender?* looks at the global backlash against gender theory and LGBTQIA+ rights. Butler analyzes how gender has been framed as a threat in political rhetoric, and what this reveals about broader struggles over democracy, freedom, and identity. Expect themes like: * Anti-gender movements and moral panic * The politics of language and framing * Queer and trans resistance * Power, fear, and ideology *** ## **Event Details** * **Date:** Sunday, April 12, 2026 * **Time:** 14:00 * **Location:** Villa Vida Café * **Room:** Main Café Space * **Language:** English (German possible if needed) *** ## **What to Expect** * Guided but open discussion * Space to share reflections or just listen * Community-focused and low-pressure atmosphere * Mixed group: regulars + new faces always welcome You don’t have to finish the book to join—but it helps. *** ## **Accessibility & Community Care** * Step-free access available * Accessible toilet * This is a queer-centered, respectful space * No tolerance for discriminatory behavior *** ## **Collaboration** **The Queer Book Club is hosted In collaboration with** [o*books](http://o-book.at/) & [hint.wien](http://hint.wien/). Once you’ve joined, you can order the books to read at a discounted rate at o\*books.

The FAIHS film club invites you to a new event: come and join us on April 10, h. 19:00, at the Villa Vida Cafè, for a screening of “Stateless” and a post screening discussion with its director, Mohammad Abou Chucker ([@slow_.moo](https://www.instagram.com/slow_.moo/) ) .  “Stateless” is a short documentary filmed in Sweden that follows an elderly stateless Palestinian man “Abo Rami“ in his struggle to obtain Swedish citizenship in order to visit Palestine. Shot over two periods five years apart, the film returns to its protagonist, tracing what has changed and what remains unresolved. Through its long-term engagement, Stateless explores statelessness, the right of return, occupation, and the meaning of home under conditions of permanent uncertainty. .  Mohammad Abou Chucker is a Palestinian-Syrian photographer and filmmaker working at the intersection of migration, identity, home and art based practices. Drawing on his own experience of displacement, his work centres storytelling with and about refugee and marginalized communities through visual media, participatory methods, and human rights informed approaches.

***Are there fundamentally different ways of looking at the world?*** *Do different intellectual cultures - such as the arts and the sciences - embody these perspectives? Should they be in greater dialogue, or left to their own devices?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we will explore what happens when different intellectual cultures confront the same phenomenon - namely, the cheery prospect of the heat death of the universe. Before expending our breath on these questions, we'll read three short pieces: * A short story by Ted Chiang: ["Exhalation"](https://on-air.caricomassimo.org/media/pages/airchive/exhalation/392873ce00-1715897949/exhalation-tedchiang.pdf) (alternative: [audio version](https://archive.org/details/ExhalationByTedChiang); \~30 min read) * An essay by C. P. Snow: ["The Two Cultures"](https://archive.is/HMIMI) (\~20 min) * A poem by Neil Rollinson: ["Entropy"](https://poetryarchive.org/poem/entropy/) (\~2 min) In these, Ted Chiang trolls his readers into becoming aware of their own breathing, C. P. Snow leaves both artists and scientists feeling self-consciously uncultured, and Neil Rollinson subtly suggests that poetry doesn't pay well enough to cover energy bills or stave off entropy. **How to prepare** Please read all the materials in advance. As you do, try to identify at least one point of curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty - these will be natural starting points for our discussion. **What to expect** This is an in-person, conversational meetup in English. The goal isn't to debate, lecture, or "confess" - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with. **Optional stuff for the extra curious** The Ted Chiang story is a part of the collection ["Exhalation: Stories"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhalation:_Stories). C. P. Snow's "The Two Cultures" was later expanded into a lecture and then a short book ["The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures). For those interested in going further, possible follow-ups on entropy include [this short essay](https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27023) by Steven Pinker and [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxL2HoqLbyA) by Veritasium.

*A gentle gathering for friendship, love, and real human depth* **Genuine connection can sometimes feel rare.** We meet many people. We exchange words. We scroll, we swipe. And still, something deeper remains untouched. **This is not a dating event**. Not networking. Not therapy. It is a gently guided evening for thoughtful adults who value depth over small talk and who long for meaningful connection — whether friendship, love, or simply resonance. Through guided conversations and reflective moments, we create a relaxed and respectful space to meet beyond roles and expectations. You may leave with a new acquaintance, a spark, or simply the quiet reassurance that depth still exists. For women and men 40+. Limited group size to maintain quality and balance. I look forward to welcoming you. Warmly, Dieter PS: A contribution of €25 will be collected to cover the costs, like sandwiches, drinks, cookies, coffee, tea, and room . Additional donations are most welcome. PPS: 1st door (if closed) use code 2008 + push the button with the bell symbol; at the 2nd door ring at Int'l. Management Institute/ System. Institute. Then take the elevator to the 3rd floor, apartment #49. Message us at 0681 1069 1321 for any issue **Watch this short video**: [https://youtu.be/In8dqdxpCF4](https://youtu.be/In8dqdxpCF4)

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
