Feminist Artificial Intelligence – workshop by Stefanie Wuschitz – Zagreb
Event Navigation
Xenofeminists, cyberfeminists, feminist hackers…they represent different, sometimes contradicting concepts and strategies. Some to gain agency and visibility, others to enhance tech literacy, to create a room of one‘s own or a safer space, to manage collective living, to work with a non-binary perspective on gender and situated knowledge, to agree on a code of conduct or an idea of justice. In this workshop we will read a few abstracts about all these different feminist and queer-feminist approaches and share our own thoughts. Then we will create hands-on objects and artistic prototypes that express our experience and comment on recent national and international events. Please bring a computer!
