How can we resist fascism in a digital world engineered for control, distraction, and profit? Comrades, siblings, beautiful army of lovers! It's time for us to learn more about how to protect ourselves from digital fascism!
In an age where the digital platforms we depend on are increasingly controlled by corporate interests and shaped by algorithms that suppress people, how do we organize for justice, equity, and liberation for all?
Join us for an important conversation with tech experts, activists and organizers as we explore the challenges and possibilities of resisting fascism in a digital landscape designed for surveillance, distraction, and profit. Together, we’ll unpack strategies for regaining power, protecting our movements, and reclaiming the internet as a space for collective resistance.
This event will take place online and is free and open to all. The panel discussion will be held in English.
WHEN: Thursday May 15th 2025
TIME: 19:00-20:00 / 7PM-8PM (CEST)
Organised by Queers Against Fascism Stockholm
Corin Ism is a governance futurist and the founder of the Future of Governance Agency (FOGA), where they research and advise on how to use technology to reshape power structures and build more just and interesting societies. Their book Slow Internet looks at how we can view and access the core services the world wide web provides without getting stuck in exploitative interfaces, algorithms and infrastructures. As an artist, Ism explores what a movement would look like that fully taps available and emerging technologies to gain an unprecedented level of agency. Ism has a long background in global risks and international relations but views their experiences in underground tech movements – from solarpunks to piracy anarchists and transhumanist – as the most relevant experiences to draw from in the fight against cyberfascism.
