Join Multitudes Coop and House of Annetta for a tech learning series around the connections between tech justice & spatial justice around Brick Lane.
Cyber Sundays Neighbourhood Walks!
Technology continues to transform our lives, yet so much of the infrastructure that enables this technology is hidden in plain sight. Gather with us on a technology walk in Tower Hamlets, so we can demystify the digital systems that are impacting our daily lives and learn from each other how to resist the harmful impacts of technology on our communities.
Are you interested in:
- Learning how to identify different types of technology infrastructure around Tower Hamlets
- Understanding the social importance of different technologies on local communities
- Knowing more about how local community groups are resisting harmful tech in their local areas?

Cyber Sundays Neighborhood Walks #3
AI infrastructure with Arda Awais (Multitudes Coop, Identity 2.0)
While AI feels like it's increasingly seeping into all areas of our digital lives, its material impact is misunderstood and kept hidden from us. In this session we will aim to demystify the technology by covering important AI facts, discussing the AI infrastructure lifecycle and challenging its inevitability. We will learn about the specific technologies that are used in our area, including who supplies it, who benefits from it. We'll document the uneven impact it is having on our communities, and envision alternative, more consensual, abolitionist presents & futures.
1-1:30PM⁞ We will convene at and set off on the walk from House of Annetta, located at: 25 Princelet St, London, E1 6QH
1:30-3PM⁞ Walk around the area with activities and discussions
3-4PM⁞ Communal map making, debrief & social back at the House
🚨 Spaces are limited and we would love for tickets to go to those primarily impacted by the violence of gentrification and rampant surveillance of Tower Hamlet's streets. This includes migrants, racialised people, Muslim communities, young people, women, queer and trans people & those traditionally excluded from conversations around tech and the city. The walks have been designed to be family friendly, we encourage you to join with your children! 🚨
-`♡´-These tech walks are part of a broader programme of work for Multitudes Coop: we are launching a new community tech (un)school in October 2026, guided by the principles of Black Feminism, disability justice, cooperativism, and radical tech justice.
