"hate in the interstices" (2019)
The above diagram illustrates how hate, extremism and radicalization, can form and exist in the interstices of bias and perceived threat. Their size appears small in comparison to the broader feelings and expressions of bias and perceived threat; yet protected and difficult to differentiate. However, when bias is replaced by understanding and the perceived threat is replaced by acceptance, hate, extremism and radicalization are fully exposed. Of course, the strategy regarding how to reduce bias and the perception of threat are context specific.
As a shared humanity, we must focus on eradicating the biases and perceived threats. The team at Konesens Development has expertise developing and implementing comprehensive responses to reduce biases and perceived threats and increase understanding and acceptance.
