Autonets
Convergence aims to brings together hackers, anti-racist coders, gender
hackers, gender changers, dancers, movement makers, poets, performers,
media makers, anti-violence, transformative justice and prison
abolitionist activists by giving them a space to share their knowledge
and their skills in order to help stop violence against queer and trans*
people, people of color, disabled people, two-spirit people, sex
workers and women.
Engaging in discussion with the local
community members based in Toronto as well as with the community at UofT
about the kinds of violence we face daily, we will collectively work
towards creative community-based responses to end violence, creating
experiences and skills which at the end of the workshop we can take back
to our own communities. The goal is to seed a movement of creative
free/libre/open source technologies in concert with non-digital,
community based solutions, to end gendered, racialized, sexual and
ableist violence.
