Join us in the Cinema, tucked under the roof at the very top of the venue — a quiet spot with comfy couches and room for big ideas. Up here, nestled within the architecture of our conference location, we’ll once again host the CPDP Culture Club: a temporary sanctuary to pause and immerse yourself in art, books, films, talks, and coffee — all thoughtfully woven into the main programme.

The Culture Club offers 18 curated slots for talks, keynotes, screenings, live radio via Avatar.fm, and, when possible, exhibitions — all programmed by the artistic team of Privacy Salon. Last year's edition marked the return of our book club sessions: Daniel Solove presented his new book and reflected on his favourite privacy titles of the past 50 years, while Maria Magierska led a discussion on a solarpunk novel. Our Artist Keynotes included YAO Qingmei, Aaajiao (Xu Wenkai), and Boris Shershenkov, who explored early Soviet-era machine vision and hearing systems and their resonance in contemporary Russia. 

We’re always open to new suggestions and collaborations. Have you recently been inspired by an artist or author working on privacy, data protection, or algorithmic life? Do you collaborate with someone whose work belongs in the Culture Club? Or do you have a creative idea that could complement this year’s programme?

We’d love to hear from you. Please send your proposal to info@privacysalon.org, including as many details as possible and all relevant materials. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or thoughts.
