Open Geneva Hackathons | 12 - 14. May 2017

Through-out the weekend there will be maaaaany parallel Hackathons distributed all over town.
We are also partnering with BioFabbing to be cross-promoted and cross-polinated within these circles (without doing a “real” hackathon).

Participate / Visit the Hackathons

If anybody is interested to join/participate also at one of the hackathons, feel free to leave us and interact with other local groups.
http://opengenevahackathons.org/organisation/2017/04/12/hackathons.html

Present at final day

We are also invited (if there is interest) to present 2-3 projects/groups from within our BioFabbing participants, also stuff you have been doing at anytime in your life, not just on this weekend.

Please reply to this topic if you feel like. The final presentations are on Sunday afternoon, after all our BioFabbing discussions and hack-sessions are already over.

AFROGALACTICA : A brief history of the future

Thursday. 11 MAI 2017 18H30

My friend Daniel just pointed me to an interesting event in Geneva.

http://spoutnik.info/film/afrogalactica-a-brief-history-of-the-future/

ÉvĂ©nement proposĂ© par BĂ©nĂ©dicte le Pimpec et Isaline Vuille, programmatrices de la MĂ©diathĂšque du FMAC dans le cadre de la programmation slightly slipping on a banana skin.

AFROGALACTICA : A brief history of the future (AFROGALACTICA : Une brĂšve histoire du futur) est le premier volet d’une sĂ©rie de trois confĂ©rences performĂ©es de l’artiste canadienne Kapwani Kiwanga. Incarnant une anthropologue venue du futur, elle y raconte l’émergence d’un programme spatial des Etats-Unis d’Afrique et explore des thĂ©matiques issues de sa recherche sur l’Afro-futurisme.

NĂ©e en 1978 au Canada, Kapwani Kiwanga vit et travaille Ă  Paris. AprĂšs des Ă©tudes d’Anthropologie et de Religions comparĂ©es Ă  l’UniversitĂ© McGill (MontrĂ©al) et au Fresnoy (Studio National d’Art Contemporain, France) elle dĂ©veloppe une pratique artistique donnant lieu Ă  des installations, des vidĂ©os, des oeuvres sonores ou des performances. De maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale, sa pratique interroge des notions telles que l’Afro-futurisme, les luttes anti-coloniales et leur mĂ©moire, ainsi que les cultures populaires et vernaculaires.

BioFabbriculators?

If some people are interested, we could spontanously add a performance to this evening?

@Gnip, @Pin?

Wow, I’d love to go that. There’s a big afro-futurism revival in the States – maybe everywhere?
