Activism & Non-Fiction: A Conscious Collision

15. 06. 2025, 15:30 @ Atelier Gardens

Eventsprache: Englisch

Wann wird Storytelling zu Aktivismus – und sollte es das überhaupt? In diesem ehrlichen Gespräch geht es um ethische, strategische und sicherheitsrelevante Fragen im non-fiktionalen Erzählen. Was gilt es abzuwägen, bevor man eine Impact-Kampagne startet? Wie schützt man Protagonist*innen und Teams? Und wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Dokumentieren und Engagement? Eine Einladung zur offenen Reflexion über Verantwortung, Risiko und Haltung im dokumentarischen Arbeiten.
