Скачать или смотреть Building the Indigenous Internet

This panel brings together key voices in infrastructure as broadly imagined, data sovereignty and decolonial perspectives to critically explore the history, present, and future of the Indigenous Internet.

This discussion will showcase how Indigenous knowledge has and will continue to shape data worlds by bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on emerging technologies—ranging from computer science, artificial intelligence, social media, online activism, the work of infrastructure and circuit building, and beyond. By centering Indigenous voices, the conversation aims to create transformative visions for a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive digital future while inviting speculative thinking about post-settler digital worlds.

This event was held on April 14th, 2025 as the second installment of a new programming series titled Voices in Protest (VIP). To explore more of the events within this series, visit: https://www.disconetwork.org/disco-vi...
