#StopHatredNow 15.-19.5.2023

Antiracist and intercultural platform. Online and live in Helsinki 15-19 May 2023.

The intercultural and antiracist platform #StopHatredNow takes place during 15-19 May 2023. The theme for this year is Rooting Change.

Organised in mid-May, #StopHatredNow is the product of the collaboration of several art and cultural organisations, creating discourse on diversity, inclusivity, power structures, otherness, and intersectional feminist strategies.

This time #StopHatredNow plants the seeds of change and uproots obstacles in the way of a more inclusive and intersectional art and culture field. 

“This year we focus on rooting structural change, to get the art field committed to persistent and long-term equity work”, Sonya Lindfors, the Artistic Director of #StopHatredNow comments.

The week includes keynotes, lectures, workshops, discussions, and artistic outcomes. Anyone can enjoy the remarkable programme, as most of the events will be held online via Zoom and the events are also streamed on the #StophatredNow website: www.stophatrednow.fi.

The first day of #StopHatredNow is aimed especially at those working in different cultural institutions. Monday's programme introduces useful tools and encourages conversations on the responsibilities of institutions. How to move institutional equity work from project-based to core mission? And what can be done to ensure the accessibility of culture? Experts discussing the topics include artist Abi Tariq, the co-founder and chairperson of Anti-Racist Forum (ARF) Amiirah Salleh-Hoddin, arts advisor Koko Hubara from Art Promotion Centre Finland and others.

Other speakers featured in #StopHatredNow 2023 include, for example, the co-founder and director of Contemporary Art Archipelago (CAA) Taru Elfving, writer and artist Isa Hukka, author and comedian Raisa Omaheimo, artist Julian Owusu, and the founding member and executive director of Accesso Cultura Maria Vlachou. Also during the week, various workshops will be facilitated: Julia Hsiao-Pei Liao will offer concrete advice for those dealing with Migri, Francisco Trento invites participants to conspire together against ableism, and Sonya Lindfors and Sophia Wekesa offer self-help for striving feminists.

The events are mainly held in English, but some of the programme will be held in Finnish. The language of each event is marked clearly in the schedule. Some events will be print interpreted, which is also stated clearly in the schedule.
