      NMWP Unconference Theme: Social Good

How can we change our world with our digital art and literature?

Our unconference call for proposals sought creative approaches to 
conference activities: events, works, and activities that aim to serve a 
social purpose (such as projects aligned with the UN Sustainable 
Development Goals): “Digital Literature for Social Good”. Activist 
projects, works for education and sustainability, events to brainstorm 
new digital lit approaches to improving society and culture—it's all 
fair game. How can we change our world with our art and literature?

Over the past couple of months, we've put together a fantastic two days 
of discussions, workshops, artists' talks, and brainstorming sessions.
