Lecture in German: Haar als Bühne. Wie Social Media und KI Rollenbilder formen

Lecture by Dr. Alina Gales (Technische Universität München)

 

 

Hair is an expression of identity, power, and belonging—even in the digital space. But who decides which images of the body and gender are visible? Social media and AI systems shape our perception more than we realize. This lecture highlights how algorithmic processes reinforce, distort, or normalize stereotypical role models—and how these digital power structures can be identified and critically questioned.

Alina Gales holds a doctorate in cultural studies. She heads the Diversity & Inclusion department at the Technical University of Munich and is a speaker on the social impact of artificial intelligence.

Location: Gartensalon of the Kunsthalle

Price: €5 / €3, tickets online

A cooperation with the TUM Center for Culture and Arts
