Join ‘Tipping Point’ artist Louise Ashcroft for ‘Comedic Tools for Grappling with AI,’ an interactive workshop which explores the potential for humour and speculative design to shine light on present-day societal issues.
Join us for ‘Crafting Resistance,’ a drop-in, hands-on zine-making workshop designed to archive your everyday moments of resistance and inspire you to find new ways to critically engage with and resist the unwanted and pervasive incursion of artificial intelligence into various aspects of our lives. This interactive session will guide you through the process of creating your zine and allow us to reflect on the importance of documenting and sharing modes of resistance.
The workshop draws inspiration from Identity 2.0’s collaboration with a diverse range of activists for their featured project, Issue: 404.
