In two panel discussions moderated by the artist and journalist Tarik Tesfu @tesfu_tarik, the artist and photographer Sophie Emmerich @sohia.emmerich , the writer Samuel Benke @samuel.benke and the artist and podcaster Robin Solf @robin.solf, exchange views. In the second panel discussion, co-host of the bbq podcast Zuher Jazmati @xanax_attax will moderate the exchange of perspectives between guests Leila El Kayem @leilaelkayem, Executive Creative Director of “Anomaly”, @yolodile , Senior Creative Strategist of “Innocean Berlin” and Samet Akti, Principal Diversity and Inclusion at Zalando. The two panel discussions will explore the possibilities of positive change towards diversity, equality and inclusion in order to achieve broader representation in the creative industry. Guests will use their personal experiences to reflect on the state of the industry and the differences between genuine LGBTQIA+ engagement and trends and pinkwashing. The two talks of the evening will be complemented by live musical performances by Tarik himself and singer and producer Marshall Vincent @marshallvincent.flac. The evening will conclude with Adam Munning’s @adammunnings performing a musical set celebrating queerness.
