To document and archive a serie of conferences and performances
curated by Oulimata Gueye and Marie Lechner from February to
July 2018. “Afrocyberfeminisms” is a cycle of meeting,
screenings and performances based on proposals from researchers,
activists and artists from diverse backgrounds who share a
common interest in exploring digital technologies through
questions of gender, race and the place of Africa and its
diasporas.
Inspired by the work of Octavia Butler, the programming aims to
offer scenarios that renew our view the history of science and
technology, refusing to align dominant models, and assert
their desire to produce other narratives to produce other
narratives, other possible configurations. With an extra
seance held during the Computer Grrrls exhibition, the 14th of
june 2019, that is not archived.
