The aim of ZMO public relations is to deconstruct the image of "the other". The Centre rejects the academic and journalistic culturalization of global conflicts, and makes a point of contributing to a more discerning view of the "Islamic world" by offering advice to the media, for example, or providing expert interview partners. The results of basic research on non-Western history and culture provide the necessary depth to understand current affairs, and it is our aim to present them for discussion to a wider public. Our virtual press folder, which we are happy to extend to you for your own work, contains texts and photographs reflecting this intention.

Since 2004 ZMO’s outreach programme, directed by Dr. Sonja Hegasy, increasingly used art as well as cultural events to disseminate research results. See for example the photo exhibition “What Do You Think about the West? Interviews with Young People from the Arab World” (2005) and “Made in Teheran – Six Women’s Views” (2007, in collaboration with the Cicero Gallery und Artefakt). In 2008, ZMO took part in the exhibition “Cairoscape”, which was shown in the Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien. In 2010, the organizers of the conference “Under Construction – The Material and Symbolic Meaning of Architecture and Infrastructure in the Gulf Region” and Regina Sarreiter organized an accompanying exhibition at ZMO. In addition, Regina Sarreiter supervised the 2011 exhibition “What We See. Images, Voices, Representation” in the Museum für Völkerkunde in Vienna. At the initiative of ZMO, Arsenal – Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V. and ZMO in September 2011 jointly organized the Moroccan Film Days “Change and Diversity”, which opened up perspectives on filmmaking in Morocco over the last ten years.
