Join us for the first ever
Feminist Futures Copenhagen Hackathon
12-28 April 2023
When we say “Feminist Futures” we are talking about anti-racist, decolonial,
accessible, equitable,
and just futures for people of all genders and all backgrounds. Our definition of
feminism begins
with the belief in and the advocacy of the political, social and economic equality
of all people.
This hackathon is not an exclusive space for programmers and hackers. We know that
hackathons often
cater to a very narrow group of individuals with specific backgrounds. We want to
counter this by
applying a feminist lens in imagining a hackathon that caters to many different
people with all
their different experiences. This strives to be an inclusive space for anyone and
everyone who wants
to take part in shaping our collective future. A future where power is challenged
(and
redistributed), where multiple forms and sources of knowledge are recognised, and
where culture is
inclusive rather than exclusionary.
Feminism asks us to put a critical eye on institutionalised power, embrace emotion,
and think beyond
binary structures. It reminds us that we are not individuals moving through the
world, but always
entangled with other bodies, histories and the non-human world.
