Description
This meeting was a gathering of women, trans, non-binary, intersex persons, active in the tech world. We conducted a story-sharing session, discussing our experiences as workers in the tech industry and in software development, as contributors in free and open-source movements, as participants in tech meetings and/or as initiators of alternative inclusive hack communities.
The content of this session was used to create a small collective fanzine using free software tools.
Theme: Stories of gender exclusion in tech based environments
Event Category: Conversations
Description
Let's talk about feminist servers! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:
What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?
We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.
We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out.
Event Category: Radio Drama
Pad Notes
Description
This gathering aims to try out exercises of dramatic & performative reading, experimenting with angry voices, using mailing list and online dialogues as scripts.The initial idea came after we sent an open call to organise Feminist Tech events in Athens, on the mailing list of greek tech spaces; we received many negative responses.
How are these emails transformed after our dramatic reading exercises? What are the effects on us? What does the human voice reveal?
Snippet of audio recording (Edited audio coming soon!)
We presented it as a radio performance.
