Ciklus tribina „Manjinska čitanja politike“ nastao je u saradnji Centra za istraživanje kultura, politika i identiteta (IPAK.Centar), Departmana za kritičke studije politike Fakulteta za medije i komunikacije (Univerzitet Singidunum), Centra za ženske studije u Beogradu i Doma Omladine Beograda, u želji da se pojam političkog shvati i promišlja šire i kompleksnije od njegovog konvencionalnog značenja, ali i da se tako shvaćenom pojmu političkog priđe sa pozicija koje izmiču uobičajenim identitetskim kategorijama i redukovanim diskursima kojima obiluje ubrzana i intenzivirana današnjica.

Jednom mesečno, od januara 2016. godine, o manjinskim politikama, geografiji mržnje, mestima borbe, politikama prijateljstva i mnogo čemu još, razgovaraće se iz novih, neafirmisanih i drugačijih perspektiva.
