„We are sick of
an art world that, on the one hand, deals ‚critically‘ with migration, racism, colonialism etc., yet reproduces discrimination at the same time.“

Uncensored: We are sick of it: The short film program and discussion followed the statement We are sick of IT, that hundreds of Migrant/Black/Indigenous/Lesbian/Queer/Trans* artists of colour had signed to make a collective stand against structural discrimination in white art and cultural institutions.
Talk & discussion: Artists, filmmakers, activists, collectives and curators exchange their ideas and strategies of empowerment, resistance and building alliances dealing with structural racism, white supremacy, ignorance and privilege in the fields of arts, film and culture, reflecting their own experiences as well as former and ongoing fights and solidarities.
