Hello from Varia in Rotterdam,
This Sunday evening we have an online collective reading session on bbb about
Digital Solidarity, our invitation is below if you are curious to join.
Read & Repair - Digital Solidarity feat. Cristina Cochior
During August and September 2021, we will be exploring the theme Digital
Solidarity. In a time where everything points to the further consolidation and
accelerated normalization of the Big Tech industry (Zoom, Facebook groups,
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype, etc.), we need collective digital alternative
practices. How can we develop mutual aid strategies and social closeness
through alternative digital infrastructures in times of physical distancing,
remote working or care giving?
The text selection for Read in August was made by Cristina Cochior. Together we
will be reading chat transcripts of conversations around solidarity, mutual aid
and self-organised care practices, speculative fiction written by activists and
texts describing how computational infrastructures create patterns for social
forms (Berlant, 2016). Inspired by public domain audiobook communities, we will
try to make an audio recording of one of the readings.

Date: Sunday, 29th August 2021
