we are machine streams (https://www.machine-streams.com/).
most recently, we co-created and are about to launch our Queering AI Manifesto (5 June). We are also working on a new project creating a queer phone line.
We are running a casual catch up/meet up for those interested in exploring queer/art/ tech. We will be celebrating the manifesto launch, catching up, and sharing ideas for future projects. You can come with ideas for projects you would like to run and meet people who you might want to talk it through, or just share stuff you are interested in and connect with others! ** FYI we are here to support ideas but currently do not have access to any funding :( However, this meet up can be a time to share knowledge about funding applications etc.
This is on Thursday 19th June from 5.30-7.30pm. Drop by when you can.
Location Castle Park *meet by sally port steps*. If the weather is bad, we will go to the Watershed Cafe. If you can't find us as Castle Park sally port steps from 5.30-5.40, assume we are at the Watershed.
We know our community is under attack and the city is feeling not safe.
Below is our co-created community value statement- if you have time to read it before you join, that would be lovely. https://pad.constantvzw.org/p/machinestreamsvaluestatement
Main takeaways are: that space is decidedly anti-racist, anti-ableist and anti-zionist with no room for -isms such as; classism, misogyny, ageism, religious discrimination or any other form of discrimination and oppression. ALL trans people are welcome. Free Palestine, Sundan and Congo.
