A new generation of women is being built ~ inside every strong woman is a girl who was once believed she could become one. This year, FACES places a special focus on the Ambassadors and Mentors ~ women who inspire and guide the next generation, leading and uniting others along the way.

The selection of women ~ known as the FACES ~ is now made exclusively by the 12 project's Ambassadors. "Every woman in FACES is here for a reason," says founder Masha Zolotova.
"As someone comparatively new to Vienna, I gave that responsibility to our Ambassadors, because they know exactly which women are genuinely building our city's culture ~ not simply well-known names, and I trust their judgment completely."
Under the patronage of Nicole Adler, this year's Ambassadors include Christina Klimaschka, Sandra Soravia-Lepuschitz, Michaela Strachwitz, Laura Sänger, Lidija Kondratenko, Margit Kratky, Vera Steinhäuser and Katharina Häckel-Schinkinger.

At the core of the FACES are its Mentors, who have run hands-on workshops with the young women across a wide range of areas ~ from creative technique to personal development and career orientation. This year’s Mentors include Patricia Aulitzky, Marie Boltenstein, Claire Hoyos, Aleksandra Markl, Ulrike Tschabitzer-Handler, Berit Freutel, Michaela Strachwitz, Maryam Yeganehfar, Safira Robens, Michaela Mayer, Mariko Hara and several international mentors from Paris, Los Angeles and London.

FACES is a project by the international youth initiative UNITED KIDS, founded in 2022 by Masha Zolotova. What began as an art therapy project for refugee youth in Vienna has, in just a few years, grown into a platform that supports young women from diverse countries and backgrounds through mentoring programs, international exhibitions, educational initiatives, and therapeutic art support.
FACES creates a bridge between two worlds: the world of women and the world of girls. These women are selected because they all shape the face of Vienna in their own way. “The girls, on the other hand, are the future of Vienna, that builds presently based on the role models we are.” ~ Masha added.

Donations and sponsorships help support the project and contribute to the work
of UNITED KIDS and its support programs. Together, they create a sustainable cycle:
the women shaping Vienna today help create opportunities for the generation that will shape tomorrow.
