Politische antirassistische Praxis
Kontakt via: oehantiraref@akbild.ac.at
Being political isn’t something that requires a special position. You are bound to be political when you have a body. Whether physical or not, we all have bodies to represent.
Placed in the midst of multiple -isms, the bodies in contemporary society are exposed in many streams of values and meanings.
All the differences collide and entangle into the collective mess we now live in.
The department for political anti-racist practises attempts to:
- navigate the conflicts and create a manual that can help to protect ourselves and prevent us from getting lost in the wilderness alone;
- call upon a collective tune of equilibrium from inequity;
- each out both to the past and future for a better grasp on wisdom and to evoke change.
These attempts will be carried out as the following activities:
Case filing
Come and complain.
Closely working together with the equal opportunities team, possible cases will be filed and proceeded to make actual changes inside the institution.
It can be among any kind of interactions and circumstances.
There is a room to be heard.
Schooling
A proactive structure of school.
This means simply that the participants would all teach and learn at the same time.
Each time on certain topics within the theme of racism, we would gather to read and discuss together.
Archiving
It is important to archive.
Envisioned to be retained and handed down, then reassessed and reevaluated, it will provide a leverage for the future to overcome any occurring problems. Some to even eliminate for good.
