There are many ways in which racism and xenophobia can spread through our society, whether because of skin color, origin, culture or belief. Although racism is prohibited under the Basic Law, hatred of everything "foreign" is still a major challenge for our pluralistic and diverse society.
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
Nelson Mandela
With our anti-racism campaign, we want to break the silence and speak up! Our campaign is not only intended to make people think, but also to motivate them to act. Each illustration is a call to stand up against racism and to actively work for a fairer and more inclusive society. We invite everyone to share the motifs of our campaign, talk about it and get creative themselves.
Together we can make a strong statement against racism and use the power of illustration to create positive change in our world.
