Gespräch: Ökorassismus. Wie Weiße unsere Welt zerstören. Mit Ciani-Sophia Hoeder und Sarah Bergh-Bieling

In the organizer's words:

Who is paying the real price for our environmental crisis? Author Ciani-Sophia Hoeder talks to Sarah Bergh-Bieling about her new book Ökorassismus (Hanser Literaturverlage) and the links between ecological injustice and racism.

Whether a person lives next to a landfill site or in the countryside, indigenous communities are dispossessed in favor of Western consumption or entire groups of people are displaced by "green gentrification" - none of this is a coincidence, behind it is eco-racism. Progressive global warming also systematically affects people of color, while the white West benefits from a lifestyle that is bringing the world to the brink. Ciani-Sophia Hoeder impressively shows why bamboo toothbrushes will not save the world and what is behind "green Nazis". A book about the often invisible connections between ecology and racism - stirring, personal and highly topical.

Ciani-Sophia Hoeder's work fuses visual, literary and scientific research on social injustices, power imbalances, pop culture and being a millennial. Ciani is the founder of RosaMag, a Grimme Online nominee, winner of the Golden Blogger and was voted one of the 30 under 30. Her debut book Wut & Böse was published by hanser blau in fall 2021. This was followed in spring 2024 by Vom Tellerwäscher zum Tellerwäscher.
