Female Futures: Warum Liebe politisch ist

In the organizer's words:

Great emotions such as love and hate determine how we shape our lives. But do they also find their way into politics? In her book "Radical Tenderness", Şeyda Kurt examines love in the context of patriarchy, racism and capitalism.

Love is a mirror of our society, the author argues, and offers a new perspective on its transformative power. How can empathy and solidarity help to overcome hatred and division?

In conversation, Şeyda Kurt elaborates on her feminist visions for a fairer society based on inclusion, compassion and democratic principles.

Through her intensive examination of the role of emotions in political processes, Şeyda Kurt shows how these fundamental values stimulate social change. It becomes clear that the political power of love is not just a question of emotion, but an urgent necessity for shaping a sustainable democracy.

The event is part of the Female Futures series. It addresses the real consequences for women in a society that is far from reaching its goal in terms of gender equality.
