This month, we are grappling with what AI means to us as queer and racialised people.
We'll be discussing how coloniality underpins AI technologies, from production to deployment and use. We'll also imagine what resistance looks like.
It's going to be a good discussion, so come along!
📌 Here's the plan:
As always, we are opening up the discussion to books and beyond. Bring films, articles, or poems that resonate with the theme; don't be afraid to get creative!
If you're not sure where to start, just sign up, and we'll send a reading list.
This space is specifically for POC readers. Allies can support us by attending our cabarets or donating directly to Saffron Cherry.
