The 1990s in Austria were a very diffrent environment. Recalling human rights violations and police brutality like in the Case of Markus Omufuma led to the creation of a number of black led organizatios and highlighted the importance of organizations like the African Cultural Foundation and spaces such as afriCult.

 

Omofuma’s death sparked a series of protests and played a role in uniting anti-racism movements in Austria. These issues among human rights and rascism in particularl affecting people of african descent lead to a series of dialog programmes that adressed issues such as, rights for asylum seekers, womens rights, violence against women, police brutality and many more.
