Event postponed - What futures for community technology? A hopeful exploration

How can we take control of the technology that has become central to so many aspects of our lives and imagine a different future for it?

In this Thinking Futures Event, we take inspiration from diverse community technology practices and speculative fiction to explore this question through a participatory workshop. We will listen to readings, find out about innovative community tech practice, share ideas of our own for community tech, engineer new words to describe our inventions, and create a glossary for future community technologies. We draw inspiration from the work of Stuart Candy to plan and write together, be creative, take some chances.

In person only. 

Soft drinks and nibbles will be provided.
