Webinar: Imagining Spaces for a Decolonisation of Technology

Im Rahmen des Projekts “Erzählungen für die Transformation” organisieren wir das Webinar "Imagining Spaces for a Decolonisation of Technology" für alternative, widerständige Positionen im digitalen Raum. In diesem Online-Austausch kommen wir zusammen, um Formen des Intervenierens, der Emanzipation und der Schaffung von Beziehungen und Gegennarrativen zu träumen, die Empathie und Großzügigkeit als Formen des Überlebens und der (Wieder-)Existenz in einem hyperdigitalisierten Leben inspirieren.

As part of the project “Erzählungen für die Transformation” (“Stories for Transformation”), we are hosting the webinar "Imagining Spaces for a Decolonisation of Technology" on alternatives positions of resistance in the digital space. In this online exchange we get together to dream forms of intervening, emancipating, and creating relationships and counter-narratives that inspire empathy and generosity as forms of survival and (re)existence in a hyper-digitalized life.
