What will happen in your session?

We propose a experimental workshop to make a critical revision around the political/cultural decisions that takes shape throw interfaces; unveloping the narratives that are contained on them and how the interfaces are our way to communicate with technology, such as software, social networks. We are welcoming gender non conforming people, woman and people from different backgrounds to join our activity. We be starting by reviewing two feminist projects where we work: acoso.online, the first latin american guide of victims of non consensual porn, and ciberseguras.org, the site of a latin american collective who works around digital security with gender perspective, and moving to check another examples on the critical use of images and built our own queer-narratives.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Build new narratives and expand the ways to talk, think and relate with technology.
Find the elements, thoughts behind the interface that built the diversity on an activist project;
Present a critical view on the interfaces we use;
Learn together how to deconstruct the interfaces;
Queering the interfaces!
