Join us for our H&D Fall Talks! By connecting to other self-organized communities we want to exchange insights on the peculiarities of different tool ecologies, their situatedness, their limits and possibilities. What are the creative and critical potentials of the tools that allow us to organize ourselves as collectives? What are context-specific, social-technical codes and practices involved in collective organizing? What are ways to challenge ourselves and our tools in terms of durability, accessibility, openness, and creative output?

We invite creative practitioners, designers, artists, coders, system administrators, and disobedient users to join us in reflecting and reimagining tool-relationships evolving from community organizing practices.
