Please note: This date is already booked out, if you are interested in an alternative  date please contact lena.engesser@dai-tuebingen. We will try to set up a second presentation.
 
 
Talk with Miguel Prieto-Valle, d.a.i. Tübingen.
 
Everyone has prejudices, and perceiving ethnic differences is part of the human condition, so to pretend that a colorblind society is desirable, let alone possible, is to side with racism. Instead we want to look at racial stereotypes, systematic oppression, and examples of tension amongst different ethnic groups to understand how racism works in a multicultural society.
 
To this end the film ?Crash? serves as a jump-off point for discussion of several key issues in contemporary American life: racial conflict, coexistence and violence, (illegal) immigration, the police state and state of the police, and who gets to be American. Miguel Prieto-Valle from California will lead this interactive talk that asks participants to crash into a stranger?s world in order to break down barriers and build up diversity.
