The first two hearings in the Free Republic of Vienna will take on the fundamentals: How are decisions taken? How are work structures and curation processes organised? Addressing a range of best practice models (quotas for gender, age, continent, etc.), questions are raised. How much grassroots democracy, how much control, how much regulation is needed? What counts: the majority opinion or rather individual expertise? And: how is it possible to design a transparent and accessible interior structure for the Republic?
