About the event
The video documents her permanent art intervention in the collection of the University Clinics AKH Vienna — an assemblage made of recycled lace that reflects on fragility, empathy, and human interconnectedness. Within the symposium’s framework of “Ethics of Connectedness,” the work becomes a visual gesture of shared responsibility and hope.
1st Symposium “Ethics of Connectedness”
Date: Sunday, March 8, 2026 (International Women’s Day)
Venue: Josephinum, Währingerstraße 25, 1090 Vienna
Organizer: Ethik der Verbundenheit
On International Women’s Day, March 8, a new symposium series is inaugurated in Vienna by the association Ethics of Connectedness – Association for Values, Communication and Dialogue. The choice of this date is intentional: it highlights dignity, justice, and recognition not as gendered concerns, but as fundamental measures of our shared humanity.
The first symposium is dedicated to an “ethics of connectedness” — an attitude grounded in listening, empathy, and shared reflection. It explores how we see, treat, and include one another in medicine, science, art, and society, and how seriously we embody respect, participation, and equality.
Held at the historic site of Enlightenment-era medicine, the symposium seeks to affirm humanity as a lived practice and to promote research and dialogue that strengthen relationships rather than boundaries.
Rose of Hope (Video Presentation)
At 2:00 PM, during the break between Part I and Part II of the symposium, a performative video by Eva Petrič titled Rose of Hope will be presented.
The video relates to her permanent art intervention in the collection of the University Clinics AKH Vienna, composed of recycled lace in an assemblage form. The work addresses fragility and resilience within human interconnectedness, with lace serving as a metaphor for networks of care, memory, and solidarity.
Within the framework of the symposium’s focus on connectedness, Rose of Hope creates a bridge between art and the medical environment — functioning as a visual and symbolic gesture of empathy, hope, and shared responsibility.
