GC 02 Zwickmühle

Tired thought patterns and musty old prejudices, stereotypes you can only roll your eyes at – racism and sexism cling to the cracks of our consciousness like the sticky remains of spilled cola. Scratching the surface will get you dirty fingernails at best. Are we victims of others' expectations? What possibilities do we have for action? One thing is clear: outmoded roles and projections have to go! Only then can we keep our heads above water and stay true to ourselves.

Triggerwarning: death, explicit depiction or mention of physical, emotional or sexual violence, racism, refugee experiences
