StopHatredNow 2022 – Practicing coexistence

16-21 May 2022

We are delighted to team up with our colleagues and contribute to the #StopHatredNow2022

#StopHatredNow is an intercultural and anti-racist platform organised in collaboration with several art and intercultural organisations. The platform strives to create discourse on diversity, inclusivity, power structures, otherness, and intersectionally feminist strategies. The event is is aimed at individual artists, cultural influencers, and institutions of art and culture, but anyone interested in the topics is welcome.

This year’s #StopHatredNow strives to find ways of coming together and to actively practice coexistence. How does one continue to work towards equity and diversity in the middle of multiple crises? How can the state of crisis become a chance for change, a chance to re-negotiate old and tired structures?

Tools for inclusive, anti-racist, and feminist action

This year the event focuses on community, collaboration, action, sustainability, and questions regarding accountability. The goal is to empower others (and one another) so that even in the midst of crisis, we would continue to have the strength to actively dream and practice coexistence.
