Film screening

Color with varying connections to Austria— some who call it home, some
who have made it their home, and others who would never call it home.

* We define anti-racist action as raising awareness and dismantling
normalized racist structures, policies, and attitudes. Our goal at the
Department of Philosophy is to proactively address various forms of
racism, colonialism, xenophobia, and exclusion in our collective
contexts and to promote cultural change.
We look forward to enthusiastic engagement and fruitful discussions,
Your colleagues from the
The Anti-Racism Working Group
