DESCRIPTION:When: November 4-5 2018\n	Where: TBA\n\nIn collaboration with St
 udio XX and the HTMlles festival\n	“Beyond the Hashtag: Failures and Becomi
 ngs”\n\nKeynote Speaker:Professor Marcela Fuentes (Northwestern U.)\n\n25 
 years ago\, in Lizzie Borden’s film Born in Flames (1983)\, an activist\, 
 intersectional feminism dealt with the failure of political revolution to 
 effectuate real social justice by using pirate radio\, guerrilla training 
 and the repurposing of broadcast media to assemble a heterogenous feminist
  resistance. Today\, what are our options for hijacking business as usual 
 in the face of exclusions of women\, queers\, people of colour\, and other
  marginalized communities for feminist ends? How can we go off-script in a
  story of violence\, indifference\, and discrimination to participate in n
 ovel forms of world-making?\n\nEverywhere we turn\, feminist activism is t
 argeting bad behaviour and creating new networks of community through digi
 tal technology. Campaigns and hashtags such as #MeToo\, #TimesUp\, #SayHer
 Name and #NiUnaMenos\, campus protests\, live feeds\, sousveillance\, and 
 spreadsheets of predators have demonstrated the power of technology to boo
 sts the signal of whisper networks of support\, knowledge exchange\, and w
 arnings into new spheres. The consequences of this scaler shift are still 
 unfolding\; we must go beyond the determinative dynamic of action/reaction
  to assess the broader potential for reshaping social norms in the name of
  equity\, justice\, and representation. How do different techniques and te
 chnologies of digital resistance succeed\, fail\, and mutate as intersecti
 onal feminist praxis? How might technology at once rewrite and hack into c
 onventional read-only histories and establish impenetrable narratives that
  exclude those it seeks to represent? How does digital networking emerge a
 s a shifting tactical tool in local and transnational protests and systems
  of queer and feminist solidarity?\n\nOrganizers:Alanna Thain and Vanessa 
 Ceia\n\nAbout The HTMlles\n\nSince 1997\, The HTMlles has brought together
  artists\, scholars\, and activists passionate about critically engaging n
 ew technologies from a feminist perspective. The festival takes place bian
 nually in Montreal\, and its aim is to showcase cutting-edge projects prod
 uced by local and international artists. Each edition focuses on a specifi
 c theme and addresses urgent socio-political questions by pushing the boun
 daries of artistic and feminist practices. This year’s edition is “BEYOND 
 THE HASHTAG: FAILURES AND BECOMINGS”https://htmlles.net/en/\n\nThe HTMlles
  is produced by Studio XX\, a bilingual\, feminist artist-run centre for t
 echnological exploration\, creation\, and critique\, founded in 1996.\n\nh
