Democratic Digital Commons: Migration, border control and technology – Assembly

Migration control globally is increasingly trialing AI enhanced policing technologies which are elsewhere illegal, from surveillance in frontiers to ICE facial tracking. In the 7th assembly of Digital Democratic Commons, we wil question how digital infrastructure has created borders instead of connections in both online & physical realities – and how we can reimagine a real world wide web.

Children activities available throughout the day and side workshops.

The Far-Right’s Attack on Gender and LGBTQI Rights and the Need for an intersectional Feminist Response

Panel debates & assemblies. With Veronique Sehier, Vasiliki Polykarpou. Moderated by ETERON.

Around the world as in Europe, the far-right and their nationalist and fascist project, are targeting LGBTQIA+ and women rights as a scapegoat to justify and enforce a need for an authoritarian society protecting their wealth and power. This scapegoating strategy at large in fact targets all kinds of people already vulnerable and or marginalized in society, notably racialised people. It seems crucial at the moment to understand these dynamics and attacks as part of the same political project to ensure a common and intersectional response.
