London Data Week Event: Meme-tivism for Feminist Data Literacy

📢 Would you like to explore memes as an engaging and critical medium to communicate imbalances of power within data & AI practices?

Join us to participate in a 2.5 hour workshop to co-create memes for feminist data literacy!
Memes, often characterized by their humorous and viral nature, have become a widespread form of online expression, shaping the way we engage with and understand contemporary issues. “Meme-tivism for Feminist Data Literacy” explores the immense potential of memes as an informative and transformative tool for critical data literacy through an intersectional feminist lens. .

Acknowledging the uneven distribution of power, control and knowledge over data, feminist data futures should be seeked through critical and creative literacy methods, mediums, tools and tactics that unpack, communicate and challenge the existing imbalances rather than perpetuating the status quo and the matrix of domination.

The workshop will provide a collaborative space for participants to co-create memes for various aspects of critical data literacy. By embracing the vernacular creativity of meme culture, we will explore the power of memes in sparking critical conversations, raising awareness, mobilizing communities, and advocating for feminist data futures in an accessible and engaging manner.

In a this workshop, we will delve into how memes; an online medium that has been predominantly driven by and amplifying the voices of patriarchal norms and communities, can be adopted to challenge the inequalities in access to data literacy, introduce feminist perspectives to the data and amplify underrepresented perspectives by actively creating memes and contributing to the critical data literacy meme archive.
