TRANSNATIONAL ANTI-COLONIAL TRANS*FEMINIST COUNTER CLOUD ACTION DAY
Open self-study afternoon at the H&D studio and online
H&D joins the Counter Cloud Action Day on Friday 8 March by opening our doors (physical and virtual) for a self-directed study afternoon focused on the relationship between the cloud platforms we use and their entanglements with the military-technological complex enabling the genocide committed by the Israeli goverment. We will share some references, thoughts and suggestions for action, and invite you to join us online or at the studio to dedicate some time to self-directed study on these pressing matters.
H&D is an endorser of Tecnosandia’s declaration of solidarity with Palestine. Who together with other collectives and individuals, activists, artists, researchers and designers, committed to resisting the regime imposed by Big Tech, Big Oil and the computational financial industry, because their basis is complicit with and actively participates in the zionist state of Israel and a world order that defines and maintains it.
