Simon INOU: Challenging racist iconography in Austria
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.
