Event #2

The digital revolution is perhaps the most significant event of the last thirty years. Yet, across the planet, millions of women pay dearly for it. Misogyny on social media, non-consensual circulation of intimate contents, other forms of online gender-based violence; sexist distortions of artificial intelligence; exploited and mistreated tech workers; high-tech gadget production chains are steeped in abuse and discrimination. What has brought us here, and how do we get out of it? How are feminist movements going to “take technology back”, and to emancipate and resist rather than to oppress? Lilia Giugni and Lorenza Pieri talk about these and other topics, with a keen eye on the similarities and differences between Italy, Great Britain and the United States (their adoptive countries).
