Onlineworkshop: NOT FOUND ON

Recording Our Communities*
(Do It Yourself & Do It With Others wiki as safer space for +LGBTIQ+ communities)

This is an invitation to join an online, intimate listening and co-writing workshop with discussions on DIY & DIWO community networks and focused on how queers spaces and communities have mutated during COVID-19 both online and offline.

Not Found On has been co-creating a mediawiki platform to record/connect feminist queer intersectional knowledge. This has been done by responding to tensions arising out of the desire for privacy and the desire to share, as well as the precarious nature of the spaces we occupy. It is the recognition of bars, kitchens, sports teams as sites of knowledge creation and the desire for alternatives to corporately owned social media.

 We welcome participants from LGBTQIA+ communities who have an intersectional feminist approach to love and inclusiveness. No pre-existing wiki knowledge is necessary. All bodies are welcome. ONLY in English. >>> Programme and Registration <<<

Max participants: 10
Workshop: 22th workshop
Timing: 6:30 – 8:30
