Project partner AfroFutures_UK ran a hugely inspiring design jam session at the Sussex Digital Humanities Lab, supporting participants to think through alternative AI futures.
This was a participatory hackathon exploring what community-oriented AI infrastructure could look like. Drawing on African and Afrofuturist thought, transfeminist futurology and CripTech, participants developed ideas around regenerative energy systems, reparative design requirements, and DIY hardware built from repurposed technology.
