Online

Join creative computing artist and educator Jazmin Morris as she unpacks her practice situated around representation and inclusivity within technology.

In this online session Jazmin Morris asks: who are the gatekeepers of knowledge, and what can we do to collectively educate each other? What does a platform centred around marginalised people look like? Why should we all be inspired by the open-source community?  

This event is presented as part of Mutant Promise: Going Platinum!
