From Austro-Hungarian hunting expeditions and scientifi c mapping practices to today’s conservation finance and carbon markets\, we want to trace how hunting\, mapping and owning became interconnected t ools of power. The invention of “empty” landscapes enabled extraction\ , racialized displacement and the erasure of Indigenous land stewardship — dynamics that continue in contemporary climate politics. By linking sa fari imperialism to today’s climate crisis\, we ask: how do historical i maginaries of wilderness shape current conservation regimes\, and who bene fits — or is displaced — in the name of protecting nature?\n\n Keynote : John Mbaria (Environmental Journalist\, Kenya)\n Historian: Vanessa Span bauer (Vienna)\n Moderation: Remi Tchokothe (University of Vienna)\n\nInst itutions and organisations participating in the fair: \;\n\n Asylkoord ination\n AuPair-Repair\n Bibliobox\n Disrupt\n fairplay VIDC\n freshVibes \n Gleichbehandlungsanwaltschaft\n Haus der Geschichte Österreich\n KPH – Kirchliche Pädagogischen Hochschule Wien/Niederösterreich\n Radio OR ANGE 94.0\n Sentro – Sentro ng Kultura at Wika ng Austria at Pilipinas/Z entrum für österreichische und philippinische Kultur und Sprachen \; \n SOS Mitmensch\n Stadt Wien – Integration und Diversität\n Südwind\n UNDOK – Anlaufstelle zur gewerkschaftlichen Unterstützung undokumentie rter Arbeitender\n Vielmehr für alle! – Verein für Bildung\, Wohnen un d Teilhabe\n Volkshilfe Wien – Männerberatung\n ZARA – Zivilcourage u nd Anti-Rassismus-Arbeit\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antirassismustage.at/wp-content/uploads/ 2026/03/Flyer_Antirassismus.Messe_2026_englisch1.jpg CATEGORIES:Messe LOCATION:CEU\, Central European University\, Quellenstrasse 51-55\, Wien\, Wien\, 1100\, Österreich GEO:48.173825;16.388439 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Quellenstrasse 51-55\, Wien \, Wien\, 1100\, Österreich;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=CEU\, Central Euro pean University:geo:48.173825,16.388439 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
