Toolbox #3: What does loyalty mean?

Golschan Ahmad Haschemi, Verena Meyer

Hannover

With Tanja Chawla and Duha Binici

Golschan Ahmad Haschemi and Verena Meyer build multidimensional spaces. Inspired by several plays from this year’s festival, they will address the following (and further) questions: How do we perceive each other? What is the meaning of loyalty? Who would we be today if not for …?
They have invited several interesting guests to join them in three conversations. Together, they will share thoughts, cut through what is familiar, and further expand potential new spaces.

Toolbox #3
With Tanja Chawla and Duha Binici
What does loyalty mean? To whom do we have to be loyal: To our employers, to the community, to democracy? Are solidarity and loyalty mutually exclusive? How can we oppose exploitative relationships?

Tanja Chawla is the chairperson of the German Trade Union Federation (DGB) Hamburg and has worked for many years in academia, teaching, supervision and organisational development with an intersectional perspective critical of racism.

Duha Binici works on the issues of racism and anti-Semitism in youth work and campaigns in various contexts, including in Braunschweig and Hanover, against differentiation and for the visibility of minorities.
