Helga Schwarzwald studied law in Salzburg. In her dissertation on pornography and criminal law she centred on a specific branch of media. She began her professional career as a co-director of the Women’s Counselling Service in Salzburg and as a feminist-informed legal advisor. She encountered practices of art and cultural initiatives on a detour via Amsterdam, before settling in Vienna in 2002.
Helga Schwarzwald has been active in shaping the development of community media since 2003. She was managing director of Radio Orange 94.0 in Vienna between 2004 to 2011, during which time she played a leading role in the conception and realisation of numerous international media, art and educational projects. As a former board member of the Association of Austrian Community Broadcasters and IG Kultur Österreich, Helga Schwarzwald has enthusiastically brought her extensive experience in advocacy to the service of Community Media and the right to freedom of expression and information as Managing Director of the Austrian Association of Community Broadcasters since 2014.
Since 2008 she has also deepened her engagement with contemporary art, as an artist and as a curator.
