Lisl Ponger is a Vienna-based visual artist whose work concerns stereotypes, racism, and the construction of the gaze. Through her photography, film, and installations, Lisl works across a variety of disciplines including visual art, art history, and ethnography. Most recently, she joined forces with Hundred Heroines to curate a weekly online film festival covering an eclectic range of topics. The film festivals – which started at the onset of the Covid-19 lockdowns in March 2020 – cover a broad range of topics from robots, LGBTQ+ rights, and violence against women. The common thread throughout these diverse topics is that the short films are always made by, or are about, women.
