Workshops

Workshops should engage participants in collaborative, hands-on, or discussion-based modes of learning that unsettle normative technological rhythms or knowledge hierarchies. We encourage formats that foreground collective repair, slow or messy experimentation, community-led practices, and multimodal methods. Workshops may teach skills, build critical making practices, or facilitate co-creation across diverse communities.

Session Length: 60–90 minutes

Submission Requirements:

• Workshop Title: Clear and reflective of the practice, disruption, or collective process involved.

• Workshop Abstract (250–300 words): Describe the workshop’s aims, methods, and relevance to the symposium themes (e.g., refusal, relationality, improvisation, pluriversal tech practices).

• Learning Outcomes: What participants will explore, undo, disrupt, repair, or prototype together.

• Workshop Plan: Brief outline of activities, timelines, collective practices, and care strategies for accessibility and inclusion.

• Facilitator Bios (100–150 words each): Highlight community ties, methodological commitments, and relevant experiences.

• Materials/Resources Needed: Tools, supplies, or spatial arrangements (including unconventional or low-tech requirements).

• Audience Engagement: How participants will be invited into co-creation, dialogue, or collective experimentation.
