Luisa Where do we do our work? Geographically? Virtually? In what disciplines? with whom/publics engaged? which technologies are involved (think software, hardware, wetware but also social technologies for instance)? > Barriers to our work? Alex ID in groups, or by identities, or whatever clusters (nations, discipline, whatever folks choose) Try to map areas/regions/publics/topics/technologies and issues regarding structural violences we do not adress > Working with women, non binary people and LGTIQ publics, what parts of our identities do we see as doorways/entry points to our work? Bob Do we see ourselves as part of or contributing to movements? (singular or plural) what are they? Are we operating in liberatory frameworks? equality frameworks? rights frameworks? what else? Are identity politics enough? What about class, income, index quality of life, lodging access etc? How can we include that which excludes us? > Funding/Programs: Alex/Bob What are the side effects of funding? for programs and for publics we are working with? How can we avoid divisions and foster collaboration among existing programs? How might we maximize efforts, ressources and ideas from past and present experiences? How can we acknowldege precariousness and overcome technology overload? How can the analogue -digital integration be turned into a mandate and a provocation? > Leap-frog opportunities: (give example of mobile v land-line infrastructure): luisa What other structures of power can we bypass? Can we imagine that leap-frog mechanisms individually/collectively/organisationally or locally/regionally/globally etc. (ie: I can hack public transportation individually; organisationnaly i can fund areas that others can not; collectively we live in a city that welcome refugees; Hi-tech and lowtech; Peer to peer networks; online-offline combination ...) This last part is about speculative fiction, imagining radical imaginaries and utopian futures > .... Break C) Putting answers in the wall: Going through answers to 5 dimensions (assets, barriers, publics/identities, programs sustainability, leap frog opportunities) 30 mins > by putting together are we seeing new possibilities and networks Final conversation 30 min Instead of looking at what we don't have lets look at what we do. once we do this can we look evaluate the potential opportunities or power shifts, etc.
