Mourning a dear mentor and supporter today. George

Mourning a dear mentor and supporter today. George Fifield, new media curator and tireless supporter of local Boston arts and artists passed away in recent days. We taught together at RISD. He was on the board of Art Interactive, the nonprofit tech-arts org I ran for a period. He wrote me my first recommendation for grad school. He gave me and friends/colleagues innumerable opportunities to do strange things with art and technology that otherwise never would have happened in Boston. He created space and community for weird and wonderful things to happen and he left a legacy. RIP George. We will miss you.

I'm thrilled to announce that my new book manuscript "Counting Feminicide: Data Feminism in Action" with @mitpress is open for community review on @pubpub - LINK IN BIO - I welcome your feedback and comments!

Counting Feminicide comes from my work with @ladelentesuy & @silvana_fumega on #DataAgainstFeminicide. It documents the intellectual and emotional labor of data activists in the Americas & how their work challenges the hegemonic and extractivist logics of mainstream data science.

A huge thanks to @proleptic bc this work draws extensively from data feminism.

Muchas gracias a @proleptic pq este trabajo se basa en gran medida en nuestro libro - Feminismo de Datos. El borrador está abierto para la revisión de la comunidad y agradezco sus comentarios, opiniones y preguntas.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I had the honor of meeting the brilliant @tressiemcphd yesterday after her talk for @mitlibraries along with friends @space.enabled and Dr Katlyn Turner. Still glowing and reflecting on all her thoughts on book bans, “wokeness”, “cancel culture”, strategic public underfunding, and the role that libraries have to play in democracy

This panel invites projects at the intersection of data visualization and power. This might mean projects predicated on a politic of visibility, such as feminicide data activists using maps and graphics as “affect amplifiers” for gender violence (Suárez Val 2022), or work that challenges visual metaphors as hegemonic (Haraway 1989). Data visualization helps construct the neoliberal consensus through which data are conceived, operationalized, and consumed. Many of us inherit Enlightenment sensibilities that privilege vision and ignore relation. How do we acknowledge effacements, silences, and invisibilities across network and data imaginaries, and render data in terms of reunion, recuperation, and reconfiguration?

Under such conditions, it’s crucial to acknowledge that “all data are local” (Loukissas 2019), that gender binaries contort data in ways that lead to injustice and invisibility (D’Ignazio and Klein 2020), and that Indigenous, queer, feminist and Black communities are developing counter-hegemonic uses of data grounded in care and relation (Carroll, Rodriguez-Lonebear, and Martinez 2019).

Invited investigators are asked to contribute either 1) Empirically, for example, with a case study of counter-hegemonic visualizations; or 2) Speculatively and creatively, with projects that expand possibilities for addressing visualization and power.

Projects in either category may engage technological metaphors in relation to living communities; make use of critical design practices to submit normative forms of knowledge to scrutiny; strive to render hidden systems and relations visible, while honoring the silences and invisibilities that structure networked social life.

Thank you @emgenia! I am so honored to receive a C

Thank you @emgenia! I am so honored to receive a Cultural Emergency Response Kit. Here it is with some of the beautiful healing goodies inside.
.
.
I'm still carrying forward the words that @emgenia spoke at our @mitdusp class last Spring: “How do we identify those ways of thinking and acting within our culture that create emergencies and cause harm? Some of them that I've identified are toxic individuality; thinking of ourselves as separate from the natural world and separate from others; hierarchical and binary thinking; authoritarianism; misogyny and toxic masculinity; short-term thinking; idealizing greed and consumerism; violence as a tool; coercion through brute force and fear of dispossession, which is at the heart of the power structures of our country; Western cultural supremacy and forced assimilation into this way of thinking. And going along with that is a historical amnesia which is harmful to us; cultural appropriation; the wastefulness and squandering of energy, resources and labor; and the undervaluing of youth, elders, and the extended family.”
.
.
May we start responding to these interconnected emergencies together and with the kind of love and beauty and healing found in this kit. #culturalemergencyresponse

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

I'm proud to have worked on this story about Columbus monuments and commemorations together with journalists @washingtonpost and members of the Data + Feminism Lab including @wonyoung.so

The story of Columbus commemoration is a story of persistent erasure and exclusion which has also been persistently challenged by Black and Indigenous people since at least the 1800s.

While monuments are coming down, many remain and more than 6000 places in the U.S. bear his name, including our capital: District of Columbia.

Check the homepage of the Washington Post to see the story and interactive maps.
