Keynote speech on the Trialog project
This event is part of the Trialog formats in March for students and all employees of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
The keynote lecture on the Trialog project by and with Shai Hoffmann and Zakariyya Meißner offers insights into how the conversation about the Middle East conflict can succeed. The multi-perspective format creates spaces for discussion in which one person with a Palestinian identity and one with a Jewish/Israeli identity are present. Students and staff of the Academy are invited to express their thoughts, feelings and controversial views. The aim is to create a place for mutual listening and understanding.
The lecture will be held in German. After the lectures, there will be space for exchange and discussion, where questions and contributions can be made in English or German.

Trialog formats in March – internal events
In March various moderated discussion formats concerning the impact of the situation in Israel and Palestine on the university will take place. On March 6 and 7 three different formats will be offered in which both Jewish-Israeli and Palestinian perspectives will get the chance to speak as well as the opportunity to discuss your own experiences, concerns and position in protected and moderated spaces.
The Trialog project is a multi-perspective discussion format on the Middle East conflict initiated by Jouanna Hassoun and Shai Hoffmann. Based on the outbreak of war in Israel and Gaza and the associated social consequences, including the strong emotionalization, the project is dedicated to the great challenge of making the topic discussable.
