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?</span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></p><p><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">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.</span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></p><div><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">More information: </span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></div><div><span><b><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">Date:</span></span></span></b><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"> Sunday, 29th August 2021</span></span></span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></div><div><span><b><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">Time:</span></span></span></b><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"> 19:00-21:00 CEST </span></span></span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></div><div><span><span style="color:#3a762b"><b><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">Locatie</span></span></b><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">: </span></span></span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://bbb.constantvzw.org/b/cri-yp7-stj-8oc&source=gmail&ust=1629871357815000&usg=AFQjCNFF1vRyPulPgNdjnd56EtAui3YhtQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://bbb.constantvzw.org/b/cri-yp7-stj-8oc"><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222">https://bbb.constantvzw.org/b/cri-yp7-stj-8oc</span></span></span></a><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#be8f35"><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"> </span></span></span></span><span class="colour" style="color:#222222"><br></span></div><div><span><span style="color:#3a762b"><span style="color:#222222"></span></span></span><br></div>
