AfriKaleidoskop: Mo Asumang "Die Arier"
Tuesday - Wednesday, 11-12 Nov 2025 | 6 PM | FZA
Since 2021, the film and discussion series AfriKaleidoskop has provided an important platform to address questions of everyday life and experiences of Afro-Germans and Africans in Germany. Following the successful events in 2021 and 2022 with Mo Asumang, which received enthusiastic feedback despite the pandemic, we are delighted to announce the third edition in November 2025 in Bayreuth. The focus lies on University students, pupils, and teachers in Bayreuth. In cooperation with schools (MWG, FOSBOS, Altstadtschule), discussion rounds are also planned outside the main program.
We are honored to once again welcome the renowned filmmaker, activist, and recipient of the German Order of Merit (2019), Mo Asumang, for a double event:
- 11 November 2025, 6 pm: Film Screening and scholarly discussion of her award-winning film Die Arier at the FZA, Campus Uni Bayreuth, open also to students, teachers and the broader public
- 12 November 2025, 9 am: Film screening for pupils (from 10.class), Die Arier (Cineplex) followed by a discussion round with pupils and teachers.
Through these events, AfriKaleidoskop aims to create spaces for dialogue on racism, diversity, and social responsibility, continuing the strong tradition of critical reflection and open exchange.
We warmly invite schools, students, teachers, and the interested public to join us in this important conversation.
Please note: The events will be in German.
Mo Asumang
A short bio: Mo Asumang is a German filmmaker, author, and presenter with Ghanaian-German roots. She became well-known through her award-winning documentary The Aryans, in which she courageously engages directly with neo-Nazis and racists. Her work focuses intensely on issues of racism, identity, and social cohesion, and she uses her voice to advocate for civil courage, education, and open dialogue. As the founder of the association Mo:Lab e.V., she promotes a strong democracy through dialogue, empathy, and principled action. She develops formats and Dialogue Ambassador workshops for dialog-oriented anti-discrimination work to counteract societal polarization. A particularly innovative project is the MotzBude – a safe space where people can express their frustrations and, through exchange with Dialogue Ambassadors, discover new perspectives.
