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 discussion of DIY&DIWO community networks and focused around how have queers spaces and communities mutated during covid-19 both on- and offline. 

Not Found On has been co-creating a mediawiki platform to record/connect feminist queer intersectional knowledge. It has done so by responding to tensions for 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 to seek alternatives to corporately owned social media.

We welcome participants from the LGBTQIA+ communities who have an intersectional feminist approach, to love and inclusiveness. No pre-existing wiki knowledge is necessary. All bodies welcome.  

Program:

Introduction: We will begin the session by listening to a short intro of the NotFoundOn platform about the urgency for safe spaces online and tentative use/impact. We will then be making accounts on the platform, becoming familiar with it, learning about Mediawiki markup language and key functionalities.

Discussion around experiences of how queer communities shifted during covid & how it can be recorded in a meaningful way to community

Working apart & together (additions, editing, comments, musings) that can be continuous or break-infused, based on interests and amount of energy.

Wrap Up: A circle for collective reflection with everyone (bug reports or feature proposals).

Aay Liparoto

Multidisciplinary artist Aay Liparoto (1987, US) uses long term performance as a form of research to examine the power in the banal. Their output is predominately video, text and performance, working with accessible technology, personal digital archives and DIY strategies to reflect on the mechanics of everyday life. In both their solo and collaborative practice, they are currently focused on feminist co–authorship as a method for resisting the oversimplification of mainstream narratives of historically marginalised voices.
