Vom Julius Meinl bis zum M*rBrau-Bier kommen rassistische Bilder in österreichischen Werbekampagnen, Literaturen, Museen und anderen öffentlichen Räumen allzu oft vor.

In diesem Vortrag wird der Journalist, Soziologe und Aktivist Simon INOU eine kritische Analyse des schwarzen und afrikanischen Aktivismus in Österreich hinsichtlich rassistischer Ikonografie präsentieren. Er wird auch zum Thema schwarze Repräsentation in österreichischen Medien und zur antirassistischen Arbeit sprechen.

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.
