We are living in the times of rising fascism; techno-fascists’ monopolist platforms take over public services and infrastructures; around the world, we are facing state capitalism + surveillance with patriarchal and neoliberal technologies; we witness the transformation of democratic institutions into corporate feuds. On this panel, we will discuss tactics of continuing, ongoing struggle for equality, recognition and collective survival. Solidarity is more important than ever.
After an initial conversation among the panellists who introduce their perspectives, we will invite the audience to give inputs and take an active part in the debate. The following questions could serve as starting points for a deeper exchange: How does our artistic practice, grounded in local resistance cultures, become (un)readable and/or fruitful for people in other contexts?
How will we connect trans feminist hack networks internationally to become more visible, readable and accountable to each other? How do the Indonesian collectives become unreadable to (and protected from) the extractive practices of Eurocentred companies, corporations and institutions? How can we unlearn extractivist patterns of production in the art world and beyond?
Following the conversation, there is going to be a Breakout room "Transfeminist hackerspaces" (12:30; ~1h) at afo pixel hotel (tbc).
