[Commlist] Events: Data Activism Futures & Art as Data Activism

I am happy to invite all of you to join us online for two events that 
mark the conclusion of the DATACTIVE project (data-activism.net) at the 
University of Amsterdam, that I have had the pleasure to coordinate.

For almost six years now, we have worked together toinvestigate the 
complex and multifaceted field of data activist imaginaries and 
practices. It is now time for thanks and celebrations!

Please join us onTuesday the 29th of June 2021(13.00-17.30 CEST)for the 
DATACTIVE closing event entitledDATA ACTIVISM FUTURES, to celebrate 
looking back and ponder about the future. We have our Principal 
Investigator Stefania Milan reflecting on five years of data activism, 
after which the PhD candidates will take central stage. Becky Kazansky 
will shed light on threat modelling within civil society and grassroots 
resistance to surveillance, Guillén Torres will present his work on 
institutional resistance to transparency efforts by citizens, and Niels 
ten Oever will take us through the politics of infrastructure. Guest 
speakers include Maxigas (University of Amsterdam), Fieke Jansen (Data 
Justice Lab, Cardiff University), Claudio (Algorithms Exposed), and 
Svitlana Matviyenko (Digital Democracies Institute). Finally, Davide 
Beraldo will engage in a discussion with artists Joana Moll, Manu 
Luksch, Karla Zavala & Adriaan Odenzaal, and Viola van Alphen about how 
art can contribute to the data activism agenda by fostering critical 
data literacy.

The DATACTIVE final event will be followed by apublic roundtable 
discussion on ART AS DATA ACTIVISM scheduled on the next day,Wednesday 
the 30th of June 2021(17.00-18.30 CEST). Participating artists: Joana
