Allied Media Conference

Facilitator: Fallon Wilson

The Cyber Quilting Experiment is a project examining how the internet can be used for social justice work and movement building activities. As with the Highlander Folk School in the Civil Rights Movement, the cyber quilting experiment is to be a space where activism, cognitive engagement, and skill development intersect, equipping women of color activist and organizations with the cyber tools needed to bring about radical social change. The experiment involves three spatial internet components: (1) A Space to End Violence against Women of Color; (2) A Space to Envision a Better Day; and (3) A Space to do Media Justice work. Each internet space will bring together artist, scholars, and activists to either create new projects or to collaborate on existing projects. At this caucus, we will talk with women of color about the project and etch out how to make the vision of the cyber quilting experiment a reality.
