SUMMARY:Reuse and Reimagine: Slow Circuits Wire Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Slow Circuits is a participatory weaving circle where participants will collectively weave a textile installation from discarded electronic wires. The process is accompanied by a facilitated discussion that explores the extractive origins of technologies\, their lifecycles\, and their afterlives. \nBy slowing down the pace of technological consumption and inviting tactile engagement with the remnants of our digital lives\, Slow Circuits transforms waste into a medium of connection and care\, inviting participants to confront their own entanglements within global extractive supply chains while learning practical skills for repair and reuse. Through this collective practice\, the workshop makes visible the material and ecological costs embedded in our technologies and examines how the pace\, planned obsolescence and linearity of modern technology proliferation exacerbates inequities along race\, gender\, and class lines.\n\nSign Up >
