The next STIR lecture will
be by Simon INOU: "Challenging racist iconography in Austria".
From Julius Meinl to M*Brau beer, the utilisation
of racist imagery in Austrian advertising campaigns is sadly too common. It is also present in literature, public space, cultural
customs and museums, and other areas.
In this lecture, journalist, sociologist, and activist
Simon INOU will present a critical analysis of challenges to racist iconography and Black African activism in Austria. He
will also speak on Black representation in Austrian media and anti-racist organising.
STIR lectures are organised
by the Head of Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Inclusion at Angewandte. STIR presents intersectional and interdisciplinary
insights on Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Inclusion in applied arts; thus contributing to stuctural and substantive change.
Open to all.
