Hosted by Mystika Glamoor this first-of-its-kind event spotlights a curated selection of artists, academics and activists working with - or interested in - queer data as a material, concept, process or problem. Imagine a less stuffy TED talk where everyone in the room has a passion for all things QUEER DATA!
Presenters at the Showcase include:
Rodrigo Tadeu Guimarães Jales - Queering Data for Inclusive Human Rights
JT Welsch - Ace Data and the Power of the 1%
Meg Fereday - #Neuroqueer: Using Hashtag Networks to Understand Algorithmic Contexts of Queer-neurodivergence
Jess Parris Westbrook - Queer Time Machines
Zosia Kuczynska - ‘…to enjoy Piemontello’, a Spoken-word Performance at the Intersection of Archival Research and Creative Praxis
Kim Foale - What if Storing User Data is a Dark Pattern?
Katherine Wyers - Field/Notes: A Multimedia Jazz Improv Response to Collecting Queer Data as a Queer Person
The Showcase will conclude with time for presenters and audience members to meet each other and talk about the variety of queer data projects taking place.
