Decolonizing Representations: Past, Present and Future
October 25, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Free
How can faculty, students, and community members engage in digital knowledge production as critical users and as meaningful producers? Decolonizing Representations is a set of FREE workshops designed for those folks who want to learn to do both, using digital tools to examine and re-imagine representations of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, & Asian groups, and people with disabilities at UF.
This first workshop, “Tracing Past Legacies,” focuses on the linkages between technology and history through the development of a mobile campus tour. Participants will work collaboratively to curate and create content about campus spaces relating to historically-excluded and underrepresented peoples, to address how the present-day campus landscape reflects these histories. A second workshop, “Designing the Future,” will follow in February 2020.
Amanda Concha-Holmes will guide the workshop. Dr. Concha-Holmes has researched, published, crafted documentaries, and given workshops on decolonizing representations of marginalized peoples specifically combining technology and art for over a decade.
