Anti-Muslim racism: what exactly is it? And what does it have to do with club culture?

Especially in the current context, where the situation in Palestine/Israel is also affecting communities within German and Berlin club culture, it is important to raise awareness of prejudices and break down stereotypes against Muslim and Muslim-appearing individuals, as well as to amplify the diverse voices of their communities. The first part of the workshop focuses on defining anti-Muslim racism and raising awareness of where it is reproduced in society and within club culture and club operations. In the second part, strategies for addressing anti-Muslim racism in club culture will be developed together with the participants to protect and empower people from the affected communities. The goal is to support and guide club culture actors in reflecting on exclusions directed at people perceived as Muslim, as well as culturally and religiously practicing Muslims. Furthermore, the workshop will explore how to create safer spaces and establish trained support structures within the club and in club-cultural contexts that can be contacted in cases of (anti-Muslim) racist discrimination. Additionally, a key objective is for club organizers to increasingly incorporate Muslim and non-white perspectives into decision-making structures over the long term and to implement these in their door policy and programming.
