Things can break!

8-13 October 2018

XM24 - Bologna, Italy

We are very happy to announce the next Eclectic Tech Carnival, a
feminist tech skill-share event. The /ETC is a gathering of people*, who
critically use/study/share/improve everyday information technologies in
the context of the free software and open hardware movements.

We are a collective body of feminists with a particular history, who
chew on the roots of control and domination.

The Eclectic Tech Carnival began in 2001, inspired by the hack meetings
that started taking place at the end of the 90’s. Spread Over several
days, people meet in real life to talk about computers, networks,
programming, and the politics behind it all, and to share creative work
(art needs to get a mention here!).

The Eclectic Tech Carnival is unique in that it has a feminist approach
that expands the hack meetings’ reflection on politics with an
intersectionalist point of view. Women, trans, genderqueer,
gender-fluid, and intersex people will populate it alongside any other
creature who actively embraces feminism and the critique of authority
and oppression.

Besides workshops, there will be space for people to be politically,
performatively and artistically active. Let us create future scenarios
where the happy ending is a small and local world, based on solidarity
and community.

To join the event, we invite you to contribute - organize a workshop,
give a talk, surprise us with your amazing performance or your sparkling
installation, do SomethingCritical (and feminist, of course!).

Everyone is a volunteer and will take on tasks during the event, for
example helping in the kitchen, staffing the information desk, cleaning
the ablution blocks, translating for each other, infrastructure
administration, and so on.

What we offer:

* a network of feminists, with the most varied experiences
* infrastructure with work spaces and equipment
* good and affordable food
* a wide room where people can sleep for free

Please contact us at any time, starting immediately.
