Let's talk about racism in Graubünden!

From 25.4. to 6.5.2023 the Fachstelle Integration shows in the Stadtgalerie Chur the exhibition "Wir und die Andern. From prejudice to racism".

What is racism? How does it manifest itself? How did it arise - and why? Why does racism persist? What does it have to do with social power relations? Am I racist myself without knowing it? How can I defend myself against racism?

The exhibition "We and the Others. From Prejudice to Racism" conveys knowledge about racism, its origins and how it works on 17 panels. It spans from the era of slavery in North America to Switzerland's economic and intellectual involvement in colonialism, from the 600 Yenish children taken away from their parents between 1926 and 1972 to the Black Lives Matter movement. There are answers to questions such as "Do we really all come from Africa?" and "Why do people have different skin colors?" to be discovered. In addition, it will be shown that mechanisms of racism also exist in our society and institutions today - mostly hardly visible - and lead to unequal treatment of minorities. Discrimination and racism are thus among the social challenges facing our society.

With this traveling exhibition, the Cantonal Integration Office invites you to reflect on racism. Take a look and share your views and experiences with us. We are looking forward to the dialogue with you.
