In the name of the Moon, I won’t forgive it
An invitation to a workshop to create a portable accessory to manage everyday microaggressions.
This workshop aims to create a wearable accessory to manage everyday microaggressions. During their residency at Ada X, artist Ahreum Lee produced samples, guides and research on the problems associated with microaggressions. Composed of micro-IC chips, micro-speakers, buttons and conductive fabrics, these accessories can store and broadcast the sound that participants want to emit in uncomfortable and unexpected situations.
A collaboration at the Campus Fab City Montréal, Communautique and Eastern Bloc.
An initiative from :
Ada X is a bilingual feminist artist-run centre that supports technological experimentation, creation and critical reflection in media arts. Ada X assists in the independent production and diffusion of art created by women, trans, non-binary and queer artists in the field of contemporary technological practices. Demystifying, providing access, equipping, questioning and creating, these are the aims of the Ada X. The centre actively participates in the development of a digital democracy that encourages autonomy and collaboration.
Ada X is a space specifically dedicated to the feminist practices of a community of critical and committed artists, who are marginalized within the digital arts (and in society). The centre contributes to the redistribution of power and expression between genders by defending an inclusive feminist position and by denouncing the persistence of gender disparities. Ada X supports projects from individuals and communities who use and design more accessible technologies, from artists who experiment with recycled materials and free software, from those who work with post-internet practices, and from people who define the Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together ethics.
Ada X supports feminist artist communities in three ways: the production of artworks in digital art through artists’ residencies by providing space, equipment and specialized resources; the dissemination through the presentation and promotion of artistic works; training through workshops and activities.
