A workshop with Dr. Anna Feigenbaum, Minute Works, and Dr. Gavin Grindon
In this hands-on, interactive workshop, participants will be taken through the process of brainstorming, researching, writing, visualizing, publishing and promoting infographics designed for activism and social change. After discussing strategies for how to research past graphics, explore appropriate iconography, engage in data storytelling, and subvert corporate aesthetics, we then turn the workshop over to participants, guiding them through a participatory design project.

The resistance movement to fascism and white supremacy is diverse and creative, adapting to increasing threat and propaganda in the digital world. This panel discussion will explore the resistance to fascism and white supremacy, followed by a Cryptoparty for a hands-on workshop to learn more about the projects discussed. Groups joining us have developed tools that challenge white supremacy with projects that identify and remove online propaganda and through skillshares to enable us to protect ourselves. Our first hour will be a panel discussion and Q&A. This will be followed by the Cryptoparty, where we will split into small groups to work with panelists regarding their projects. Feel free to bring your own laptop!
