Capybara’s Action

The common ground of all these negative phenomena is giving in to prejudices, perpetuating and using stereotypes, as well as a great fear of another human’s otherness – these are the problems that Akcja Kapibara (the Capybara Campaign) wants to address. With their acts, they want to show that cultivating such inappropriate attitudes leads not only to the creation of an intolerant world, blocking any otherness, but also to the restriction of one’s own cognitive capacity. Moreover, the lack of awareness of the occurring social processes contributes to credulity and a conformist attitude towards the influence of many media figures. They are absolutely convinced that every person should feel accepted and safe, both opinion-wise and in the public space – regardless of the skin colour, religion, worldview, belonging to a sexual minority or the language they speak. For this exact purpose, they want to introduce the other human being through numerous articles that confront popular stereotypes with reality, as well as various educational graphics that will reflect the basic knowledge about different communities. They also intend to provide adequate space for a variety of unique people to speak up freely in short interviews. During such conversations, these people will have the opportunity to share their personal experiences and will successfully resolve any doubts about their religion, disability or views.
