Inclusion and diversity: how can we change our narratives?
Inclusion and diversity: how can we change our narratives?
The “Us” vs. “Them” dichotomy, like many frequently and quickly made oppositions such as Residents vs. Immigrants, Man vs. Woman, Black vs. White are deeply rooted in Western societies and keep skewing the way humans coexist, behave and interact. Today, one cannot fail to observe that these dichotomies are being revived and continue to be at the heart of power relations, creating a hierarchy of values, no matter in which part of the globe you live in. It’s there, in the air, and it does not seem to be going away any time soon. The idea is for our sectors to grasp and deal with the issues raised through the recent global social movements, to empower the players of the cultural field working in the public space.
These questions allow us to take a constructive look at our sectors, to reflect on how we still reproduce these inequalities, and then imagine creating new imaginaries, new narratives that can contribute to deconstructing the symbolic violence still present in our public spaces.
